Saudi Arabia: No votes for women in Saudi municipal elections
Women in Saudi Arabia will not be allowed to vote in the long-delayed municipal elections to be held in September, the election commission said on Monday.
Saudi Arabia announced last week it will hold the elections, in the first political concession since protests sweeping the region reached the kingdom.
"There is nothing to stop the participation of the woman but this needs some preparations and we cannot make these preparations in all regions of the kingdom," the commission said in a statement.
