Police said there was a "good turnout" of voters in Greece‘s parliamentary elections on Sunday, with forecasts showing the two main parties not being able to garner enough votes to form a government on their own.

The Interior Ministry said voting was progressing smoothly and it would officially announce voter turnout once polls close at 1600 GMT.

Police officials told dpa that there was a stream of people voting at polling stations across the country since early this morning. In the last elections in 2009, voter turnout was almost 71 per cent.

NET state television reported that the residents of two hamlets in Trikala, north-western Greece announced a voting boycott in protest of austerity measures. dpa cp mga
