LUANDA, Sept 6 (Reuters) - Voting in Angola's parliamentary election has ended after being extended for an additional day following problems at hundreds of polling stations, the African nation's electoral commission announced on Saturday.

"All polling stations in the country have closed," Caetano de Sousa, the head of the National Electoral Commission, said in a news conference in Luanda. He added voter turnout was high at the 320 polling stations open on Saturday. (Reporting by Paul Simao)
