Tens of thousands of Afghan forces were deployed across 34 provinces to protect voters and polling stations from Taliban attacks. About 9.6 million of Afghanistan’s 34 million people are registered to vote for one of 14 candidates at around 5,000 polling centers that will be protected by some 100,000 Afghan forces with air support from U.S. forces.
The voting process is another source of concern. The Independent Election Commission has come under criticism for issuing contradictory and unclear statements over what processes will be in place to prevent fraud if biometric systems fail during the eight hours of voting.
