The overall turnout rate for the second round of local council elections after all polling stations closed was 12.44%. The head of the Independent High Authority for Elections, Farouk Bouaskar, said in a press conference yesterday evening, Sunday, that 520,303 voters participated in the elections.
On a tour of some polling stations, Al Jazeera Net witnessed a state of sluggish turnout at the ballot boxes, as the centers were almost empty except for the staff of the Election Commission and some security and army agents guarding them.
