UN ENVOY IN IRAQ WELCOMES BEGINNING OF PARLIAMENTARY VOTING PROCESS
New York, Apr 13 2013 11:00PM
The top United Nations official in Iraq today welcomed the smooth
conduct of the Governorate Council Elections' Special Voting, where
Iraqi soldiers and policeman cast their ballots ahead of next week's
main vote.

"Today's special voting marks the beginning of the voting process,"
the Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Iraq, Martin
Kobler <"http://unami.unmissions.org/">said in a news release.

The country's electoral body, the Independent High Electoral
Commission (IHEC), demonstrated "a high level of professionalism in
this first election organized under full Iraqi ownership," Mr. Kobler
stressed.

"Now that Iraqi security forces, police and military have exercised
their right to cast their ballot, all eyes are focused on the election
day on 20 April," the UN Envoy noted. He urged the security forces to
ensure a free and secure environment for the elections.

At least 15.5 million Iraqis are eligible to vote in the 20 April
polls, according to official estimates, where more than 8,000
candidates are reportedly vying for 378 seats on provincial councils.

Provincial councils are responsible for nominating governors who take
charge of the provinces' administration, finances and reconstruction
projects.

"It is of the utmost importance that voters turn out in an orderly and
safe environment free of violence, threats and intimidation," Mr.
Kobler concluded.

Next week's elections are the first Iraq has held since parliamentary
elections in 2010.
