Iraqis living in the Gulf began voting on Sunday in their country’s general election at two polling stations in Abu Dhabi and Dubai, AFP reported on Sunday, April 27th.
They have two days in which to vote ahead of Wednesday’s election in Iraq, the first national poll since US troops left in 2011.
“Voting centers are available only in Abu Dhabi and Dubai” for all Iraqis in the Gulf region, said electoral commission official Omar al-Hadith.
Some 52,000 Iraqis live in the United Arab Emirates, including some 25,000 who are eligible to vote.
