If no candidate receives a majority in the first round of voting on Thursday, a run-off election will need to be held. If required this is likely to be held in early October. In the event that there is a run-off, our election support force will continue to provide security support. Afghan National Security Forces are responsible for providing security for the elections with international forces providing back-up support. Australian forces have been mentoring and supporting their Afghan counterparts in providing security for the elections. This includes training Afghan National Security Forces to actually provide security around the polling booths. (Time expired)
