This news article is about the competing of more than 5,000 men in Saudi Arabia's upcoming municipal elections: but no women, and nor will women be allowed to vote. The election commission announced the massive interest yesterday as candidates began campaigning for votes. The elections, only the second in Saudi Arabia's history, are scheduled for September 29 and are for half the seats in the kingdom's 285 municipal councils.
