In Afghanistan, parliamentary elections are being held today except Kandahar and Ghazni provinces.
The United Nations, which has been supporting the process, has urged Afghans to use this opportunity to exercise their constitutional right to vote and called for the election to take place in a safe and secure environment.
Thousands of police and soldiers have been deployed across the country. Nine candidates and hundreds of people have been killed and wounded in election-related attacks.
