How many Iraqis registered to vote?
Edited on Sun Jan-30-05 11:37 AM by renegade000
Does anyone have a credible number (with link)?
The 72% figure is just relative to this elusive number (either it's elusive or i'm blind heh) and I am quite curious.

1. BBC reckons it was based on the food ration lists
The tight timetable combined with the violence in places like Falluja thwarted any suggestion of conducting a proper census of Iraq's estimated 12 million voters. Instead, electoral rolls based on the United Nations "Oil for Food" lists - drawn up in the 1990s by Saddam Hussein's regime, have been used. Voters were able to see the lists to make corrections and revisions.

So it should be all adults.
