Iraq to open 10-15 voting posts in Jordan
[Al Arabiya Latest] At least 10 polling stations are to open in Jordan for Iraqi expatriates to take part in their country's March 7 election, as part of worldwide out-of-country voting, Iraq's ambassador said on Tuesday."We have agreed with Jordan to open from 10 to 15 voting centers in Amman and Irbid and other cities, and an office for the Independent High Electoral Commission (IHEC) has been opened to supervise the voting," Saad Hayyani said. "The voting is scheduled to take place on March 5 and 6. Eligible voters are estimated at between 100,000 and 200,000," he told AFP, with the ballot abroad taking place just ahead of voting inside Iraq as was the case in 2005. Posted by: Fred 2010-02-10 |
