Iraqis reach a deal on long-delayed election law, The New York Times (2009)
Short of avoiding a constitutional crisis, the Iraqis reached a deal on the election law. According to the government officials, the compromise had been agreed upon by Shiite, Sunni and Kurdish leaders and therefore it is unlikely to collapse again. As the election officials need at least 60 days notice to prepare for vote, the date of elections could be set for early February 2010.
