AUSTRALIA isn't the only country at the polls.
Asia's smallest nation, the Maldives, was voting on Saturday in the hope questions about the legitimacy of its government will finally be answered.
About 240,000 people were eligible to pick a leader from four candidates, including the country's first democratically elected president who says he was ousted in a coup d'etat 19 months ago.
Mohamed Nasheed, who won the country's first multi-party election in 2008, ending a 30-year autocracy, resigned last year after weeks of public protests and slipping support from the military and police.
He later said he was forced to resign at gunpoint by mutinying security forces and politicians backed by the country's former autocrat.
