The Government of Iraq is holding a special election period as a precursor to the monumental election in order to allow Iraqi Security Forces to cast their vote in the provincial election. The nationwide election for Iraqi citizens is scheduled to be held on Jan. 31. Photo by Staff Sgt. Alex Licea.

Not much coverage on this. Maybe because hopey/changey didn't bring this about, his predecessor GW did.

Good luck Iraqi's on your elections and big thank you to our finest and bravest including those in the coalition plus the "Sons of Iraq" for making this possible!
