Unofficial estimates show high Iraq turnout

[Rolo]

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Voting indications so far show that turnout in the Iraqi elections could reach 50 percent or more, leading politicians whose staff have been monitoring voting across the country say.
Official figures on Sunday's turnout will be released by the election commission later, but several political parties have been making unofficial checks of voter participation.

Turnout is expected to be overwhelming in Iraqi Kurdistan and the mostly Shi'ite south, but in Sunni Arab areas few are voting.
