KABUL (Pajhwok): A number experts and election watchdogs have acknowledged that low turnout would not affect legitimacy of presidential polls on Saturday.
Earlier, the Independent Election Commission (IEC) announced that the voting would start at 7am and end at 3pm, but the period was extended until 5pm.
At least 13 candidates are contesting the election, seen as a two-horse race between President Ashraf Ghani and CEO Abdullah.
