BOLIVIANS VOTE ON MORALES RECALL

BBC:

The people of Bolivia have been voting on whether they want President Evo Morales and eight regional governors to remain in office.

The recall referendum was organised to consolidate the leaders in office amid growing divisions over the president's attempts to reform the constitution.

Mr Morales has criticised what he calls privileged groups who talk of separation and oppose change.

Protests increased in the run-up to the referendum.

Polls closed at 1600 (2000 GMT) and preliminary results are expected shortly.

NYTIMES:

Voting, which was peaceful despite violent protests earlier in the week, was scheduled to end at 4 p.m. (2000 GMT), but people were still lined up at some polling stations. Unofficial results and exit polls were expected in several hours, with full official results due within a week.
