The elections that will be held in Iraq on Sunday are among the most important in recent years, a vote in which the stakes are extremely high for Iraqis and for the rest of the world.
When Iraqis cast their ballots, they will elect a 275-seat National Assembly with a one-year mandate to draft a permanent national constitution. There will also be elections to the Kurdistan region's parliament, as well as to 18 provincial assemblies. So while Iraqis are beginning the complex process of constitutional drafting, simply by voting they will strike a blow for freedom and will help defeat the terrorists who menace Iraq and the wider world.
