TRIPOLI, Sha'ban 27, 1435, Jun 25, 2014, SPA -- Less than a third of Libyan voters had taken part in parliamentary elections on Tuesday shortly before polling stations closed, Reuters cited the election commission as saying. By 17:30 more than 400,000 people had voted, the commission said in a statement. Some 1.5 million Libyans were registered to vote. Polling stations closed at 19:00. Officials had hoped for a big turnout to give a mandate for state building in the oil producer, hit by growing turmoil three years after the ousting of Muammar Gaddafi. -- SPA 22:16 LOCAL TIME 19:16 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
