Electorate

The 2007 election article states: "About 390,000 people were eligible to vote ... For the first time, all women and men over the age of 21 were enfranchised." Yet Oman says the population is nearly 3 million. How do we square that circle? Is there a large population of non-citizens? AndrewRT(Talk) 10:29, 19 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This article suggest 74% of the population are Omani citizens, so is it just massive underregistration? AndrewRT(Talk) 10:41, 19 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
