Iraqis vote in landmark election  
--------------------------------

 
Voters have to dip their finger in ink to guard 
against multiple voting
 
Iraqis have voted for their first full-term government 
since the US-led invasion in 2003 amid tight security. 
A steady stream of people turned out to vote, 
report BBC journalists at polling stations across the country. 

Several incidents of violence were reported soon 
after polls opened, but voting was not seriously disrupted. 

A high turnout from Sunni Arabs, who boycotted the last election, 
is hoped for. President Jalal Talabani called on Iraqis 
to make it a day of celebration. 

Security checks 

Some 15 million Iraqis are eligible to vote. 

Initial indications suggest turnout had been very high 
with few irregularities, US ambassador Zalmay Khalilzad told 
the Associated Press. 

Iraqis had to walk to polling stations as vehicles 
have been banned to prevent attacks on voters.

The BBC's Jon Leyne, at a polling station in a Baghdad school, 
said voting was very brisk there. 

A US Bradley armoured fighting vehicle patrolled the street outside, 
and there was a heavy presence of mainly Iraqi police and soldiers 
in the polling station itself, he said. 

About 150,000 Iraqi soldiers and police officers were on patrol across 
the country, backed up by US soldiers. Land borders and airports 
have been closed. 

"Iraqis are living a historical moment today - that is the elections... 
we hope to live in stability and security in Iraq, in the north and 
in the south, east to west," Baghdad voter Shaab Ahmad told the BBC. 

Explosions 

Election officials said some polling stations in Ramadi and 
the restive Anbar province, west of Baghdad, did not immediately open 
for security reasons. Most opened in the northern city of Mosul. 
Despite the stringent security measures, low-level violence was 
reported within minutes of polls opening:

A huge blast was heard near the heavily-fortified Green Zone, 
home to the Iraqi government and a number of Western embassies. 
There were no reports of casualties 

Mortar fire was heard in a number of areas around Baghdad, 
with reports of at least two civilians wounded 

In Mosul, a hospital guard was killed when a bomb went off 
near a polling station, witnesses said 

A mortar round targeted a polling station in Saddam Hussein's 
home town of Tikrit 

On the eve of voting, bombs were uncovered and defused near 
a number of polling stations in Baghdad, Falluja and other cities, 
the US military said
 
'Historic opportunity' 

Among the first people to cast their ballot was Mr Talabani, 
who voted in the northern city of Sulaimaniya. 

"This is a good day and the Iraqi people bear the responsibility 
to vote for a better future. I hope that the Iraqi people will 
stay united. We hope that the people will vote to keep 
the constitution that was approved by the Iraqi people," 
Mr Talabani said. 

 IRAQ ELECTION FACTS 
275-seat National Assembly will have four-year term
18 provinces are taken as separate constituencies
230 seats allocated according to size of population
45 seats distributed to parties whose ethnic, religious 
or political support is spread over more than one province
Over 14 million eligible to vote
One third of candidates in each party must be women

 

Some 6,655 candidates, 307 parties and 19 coalitions registered 
for Thursday's ballot, electoral officials say. 

Official results are not expected until later in the month. 

It is the second time this year Iraqis have voted for a new government. 

Turnout is expected to have been much larger than the vote 
in January, which was largely boycotted by the Sunni Muslim minority. 

Sunnis were expected to actively participate this time, 
in a vote for a national assembly that will serve a full 
four-year term. The current government is Shia-dominated. 

Even some insurgent groups called on people to vote, 
though al-Qaeda described the elections as the work of Satan. 

The most senior British general in Iraq, Lt Gen Nick Houghton, 
told the BBC the elections give "growing confidence" 
that coalition forces can begin to withdraw in the 
"relatively near future, certainly during the first half of next year" 
if the conditions are right.
