CORRECTION-PROVINCE AND BYLINE AND DATE
A veiled Thai Muslim voter drops a ballot paper into a box as she votes in the constitutional referendum at a polling station in Thailand’s restive southern Narathiwat province, 19 August 2007. Thais went to the polls to vote on a new constitution proposed by the ruling junta, in a crucial first electoral test for the generals who led last September’s bloodless coup. Some 45 million eligible voters are being asked to approve or reject the charter, which the military says will pave the way for elections that would restore democracy by December.
