Cambodians went to the polls Sunday in a general election. Prime Minister Hun Sen was among the early voters Sunday, casting his ballot near his home in Takhmau in Kandal province, south of the capital Phnom Penh. Opposition leader Sam Rainsy visited a polling station near his party's office in Phnom Penh, according to a report of the Associated Press. Hun Sen's Cambodian People's Party and the government-appointed National Election Committee say the election process is fair. Hun Sen's party holds 90 of the 123 seats in the outgoing National Assembly. Opposition parties had held 29 seats in the assembly. There are 9.7 million registered voters in a population of almost 15 million. Just over half the electorate is under 30 years old.
