Voting stations across Algeria closed Saturday night after an hour's extension for the presidential election expected to bring a second term for incumbent Abdelmadjid Tebboune. The country's election authority said that vote counting so far suggested voter turnout was 48% in Algeria and 19.6% for precincts abroad.
Algerians voted Saturday in an election to decide whether army-backed President Abdelmadjid Tebboune gets another term in office — five years after pro-democracy protests prompted the military to oust the previous president after two decades in power.
