High turnout seen as Tunisia votes in landmark parliamentary polls

Tunisians voted in large numbers Sunday in the North African country's second parliamentary election since the 2011 ouster of longtime Zine Abidine Ben Ali.
Nearly one hour before polls closed at 6 pm (1700 GMT), a member in
the election commission estimated turnout at more than 60 per cent of
the country's 5.2 million registered voters, dpa reported.
"It can eventually reach 70 per cent," Nabil Bafun, the commission
member, said.
