Nobody has given a correct answer, I have seen on different websites that turnout was anything from 28% to 79%. Can anyone find some official figures rather than what was reported in the western media as I do not believe the propoganda touted by fox news, cnn, sky news etc.

Do you really think there is an answer to this? I mean I know there is an answer but we certainly will never know - we do not get anything even close to truth - we get what our leaders and their paid henchmen want us to believe is the truth.....and we lap it up like starving single-celled brainless amoebas.

Whatever the numbers are, they far exceed how many people vote in US / UK elections. We have become jaded to how important it IS to vote. But for people who have never had the opportunity to vote and impact their lives directly, it is always a huge turn-out. They understand the importance of it, even do it at the risk of being killed by suicide bombers, who can't stand the concept. Radical Muslim fundamentalism is categorically against free voting and democracy. It does not allow men to be equals, to express their free will, or women to be anything but property. Or a reward for killing in GOD's name.
How many people in the US/ UK would vote if they thought they would be killed for showing up? We don't vote because doing so may make us later for work!
Did the US structure and setup the elections. Absolutely! Did we rig the outcomes? I don't think so. If we did then why didn't we rig it so peace would be absolute by now?
But whatever involvement we DID have, provided the Iraqis with a heck of a lot more potential for freedom and self government, than any one had under Saddam, or will have if the fundamentalists take over. And what our US / UK soldiers are doing over there is worth a lot more to the Iraqis, than all the snot-slinging, you dope smoking philosophers on here do.

A higher percentage than the Americans that voted in the last Presidential election. We didn't have armed terrorists promising to KILL anyone that voted. They had to have their finger marked with indelible ink after they voted.
Summary: Iraqis who voted were literally marked for death and they still beat US voter turnout.
