Feb. 12th, 2005 03:10 amClerics 'triumph' in Riyadh vote: Turnout of 65 percent in historic Saudi Arabian elections (CNN)
"Prince Mansour [bin Miteb, chief of the election commission] said that of the 86,462 registered voters in the city of Riyadh, 56,354 had voted, making for a turnout of 65 percent."
Riyadh (Wikipedia)
"[Riyadh] is home to over 3,500,000 people (14% of the nation's population)."
To summarize: approximately 2.5 percent of Riyadh's population was registered to vote, and approximately 1.6 percent of the population voted.
It's a start, I guess.
