Polls close in Kurdish independence referendum
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GooglePolls have closed across Iraq’s Kurdish region and in disputed territories, where residents cast ballots in a referendum on support for independence, according to local television broadcasts.
The vote is not binding and is not expected to result in independence any time soon, but is being hailed as historic by Kurdish leaders spearheading the campaign.
The vote is widely expected to be an overwhelming “yes” in support of independence. Initial official results are expected tomorrow.
