Polling opens in crucial Greece bailout referendum 

-

Polls opened Sunday for Greece's crucial referendum on whether or not to accept international creditors' conditions for a bailout, with the EU on tenterhooks for an outcome which could shape the bloc's future.

Almost 10 million Greeks eligible to vote have until 7:00pm local time (1600 GMT) to cast their ballots, with results on the plebiscite -- cast by many eurozone leaders as vote on whether to leave the single currency -- expected from 1800 GMT onwards.
