Icelanders voted Saturday in a legislative election after the collapse of a fraught coalition prompted a snap poll where the economy has been a top concern.
Battling inflation and high interest rates, the economy, housing and healthcare have been foremost in voters’ minds in the country where some 268,000 people are eligible to vote. Voting stations opened at 9:00 am (0900 GMT) and most will remain open to 10:00 pm.
Fears have been raised that some voters may struggle to reach polling stations as heavy snowfall and strong winds have been predicted for some regions, and the Icelandic Met Office has issued several weather alerts along the island’s eastern and northern coast. “I feel we need change,” 48-year-old film producer Grimar Jonsson, told AFP in Reykjavik on Friday.
