Voter turnout at 46.88 per cent: Interior ministry

The interior ministry has announced that voter turnout stood at 46.88 per cent at 6 pm.
Though the number will surely rise somewhat, that's significantly lower than the almost 54 per cent in 2009, and perhaps surprising for Lebanon's first parliamentary election in nine years, though apathy over politics in the country shouldn't be underestimated.
