Iraq polls mark first big test since US pullout, Gulf News (2013)

This article is about the polls for provincial election which will take place on 20 April in only 12 of Iraq’s 18 provinces. Nationwide, more than 8,000 candidates are competing for 381 seats on the country’s provincial councils. They represent, according to Iraq’s Independent High Electoral Commission, more than 240 political "entities", a term that includes everything from large organised political parties to independent individual candidates. Approximately 16 million Iraqis are eligible to cast ballots, but analysts cited by the Associated Press predict that only half that number are likely to turn out.
