[01] Abstention plauges election
(ANA-MPA) -- For yet another electoral battle in Greece, 'none of the
above' proved the clear winner; four in 10 disenchanted voters
preferred to stay home on election Sunday rather than head for the
polling booths to vote for local government officials in municipalities
and regions.
With 40 percent of the vote counted in the early hours of Monday, the
abstention rate in regional elections was 40.02 percent, while blank or
spoiled votes posted another record at 9 percent.
Abstention rates for municipal elections were even higher at 40.5
percent, while blank and spoiled votes accounted for 5.37 percent.
