'No sign of serious Iraq vote violations'

The Independent Electoral Commission of Iraq said on Saturday it had found no instances of serious fraud in an October 15 constitutional referendum and was still verifying some results only because of statistical issues.
IECI commissioner Adil Al-Lami said it would take some days before there was a final announcement of results but gave no date.
He gave partial results for 13 of Iraq's 18 provinces, of which only one returned a two-thirds majority "no" vote. Two more provinces would need to do so in order to block the constitution.
