Voting in Afghanistan's parliamentary election has officially closed after a day marred by Taliban attacks across the country. Queues remain outside some polling stations, and an election official said people still waiting to cast their ballots would be permitted to do so. Several people have been reportedly killed as the Taliban fired rockets at polling stations in several provincial centres.Two electoral observers were injured in an attack on a voting centre in the eastern province of Khost, and there were also reports of explosions in the northern provinces of Badahkshan and Kunduz.The Taliban said on their website they had conducted more than 100 attacks during the day.Independent Election Commission chairman Fazl Ahmad Manawi said 8 per cent of the 5,816 polling centres had either not opened or not reported in, mainly because of security fears. The Commission had already decided not to open another 1,019 sites after the Taliban vowed to disrupt voting. There are 11.4 million eligible voters. It will not be clear for several weeks who among the almost 2,500 candidates have won the 249 seats in the lower house of parliament.Early results will not be known until at least October 8, with final results not due before October 30. Election observers expect thousands of complaints from losing candidates, which could delay the process further.
