Finn said ideally 50 percent of Afghans will be registered to vote by the first election, but the formation of democracy is an ongoing process and voter registration should increase with subsequent elections.

Finn, a priest of the Archdiocese of St. Louis and a member of Opus Dei's Priestly Society of the Holy Cross, served as coadjutor of the Kansas City-St. Joseph diocese for about a year beginning in March 2004.
