U.N. envoy: Iraq elections a 'success' Still, election officials look into scores of voting complaints Friday, December 16, 2005; Posted: 12:41 p.m. EST (17:41 GMT) Programming Note: CNN's Anderson Cooper will report live from Iraq this week on the country's historic election. His reports will air at 10 p.m. ET (0300 GMT). BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- As election officials in Iraq counted ballots and looked into polling violation complaints Friday, the senior U.N. envoy there said Iraq upheld proper international election standards. "Anecdotal evidence shows that there has been a good turnout, that it was inclusive and that security was well maintained," said Ashraf Qazi, U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan's special representative. "These are all good measures of success." His comments were released in a U.N. statement. Final results from Thursday's historic election likely won't be available for "two weeks or more," said Farid Ayar, spokesman for the Independent Electoral Commission of Iraq. An official with the electoral commission said Friday that 12 of the nation's 6,246 polling centers did not open on election day because of security concerns. The official said they were located in restive Anbar province, where Sunnis are dominant. |
