Some 25 million people are registered to vote in Iraq’s fifth parliamentary election since the 2003 US-led invasion.
Iraq will hold a general election on Sunday, its fifth parliamentary vote since the United States-led invasion that toppled Saddam Hussein in 2003 and ushered in a complex multiparty system contested by groups defined largely by sect or ethnicity.
The vote had been set for next year but was brought forward to satisfy protesters who took to the streets in 2019 over rampant corruption, poor services and the widely held view that the elite had abused power to enrich itself.
