"Afghanistan, Iraq polls: India to help"
Saw this on al-Jazeera's English site. I've been long amazed by the logistics of Indian elections. It's good to hear they are willing to aid new democracies.
Excerpts:
India, the world's largest democracy, will help Iraq and Afghanistan conduct their forthcoming elections under an agreement signed between New Delhi and the United Nations. ...
India's Chief Election Commissioner TS Krishna Murthy described the signing of the agreement as "historic". ...
Earlier this year, the panel organised national polls in India in which more than 670 million people voted for 543 MPs in the lower house of parliament. Electronic voting machines were used throughout the country.
