AMMAN, 11 December (IRIN) - The Independent Electoral Commission of Iraq (IECI) is appealing to Iraqis living in neighbouring Jordan to vote in upcoming national assembly elections.

An IECI campaign, in collaboration with the Jordanian authorities, has placed hundreds of billboards all over the capital, Amman, urging Iraqis to exercise their right to vote and listing the documentation required to cast ballots. snip

Jordanian authorities have also permitted Iraqi parties to conduct campaigns in local newspapers and have placed candidates' banners in and around the 13 polling centres in Amman; Zarqa, in the east; Irbid, in the north; and Muwaqqar, near by the Iraqi border.

A total of 228 political entities are vying for parliamentary seats, according to the al-Iraqiyah television network. The election will mandate a fully-constitutional parliament with a four-year term, which will in turn choose a president and two deputies from among its members.

Jordan wants Iraqis to vote for one of the USA occupations approved candidates but the Jordanians get a king and no vote. I can't wait until the Jordanians get to vote for a USA approved candidate some day and can taste real freedom. :rofl:
