Voting under way in Azerbaijan snap elections in which 5.3 million registered voters are choosing candidates for 125 seats in single-chamber parliament
Voters in Azerbaijan were choosing a new parliament on Sunday in an early election after a short and low-key campaign.
Nineteen political parties have fielded candidates but most of the more than 1,600 people running are self-nominated, according to the election observation mission of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe. The official campaigning period began just three weeks ago in the former Soviet republic of 10 million people on the Caspian Sea.
Over 130 international media outlets from 47 countries are covering the snap election, and over 77,000 local and 883 foreign observers have been accredited to monitor the polls.
