Two women win in Saudi election

Women candidates are business leaders in Jeddah
Two Saudi businesswomen have been elected in the kingdom's first ballot in which women were allowed to stand.

But the turnout was low among the female electorate, with only 100 women voting compared with about 4,000 men.
would be interesting to know why the female turnout was low?
