The voting process in Iraq will look nothing like the voting process we have here:
The polling process itself is confusing many people. With 7,785 mostly unnamed candidates on the lists of 83 coalitions of political parties, voters have little idea who they will be voting for. Each list contains between 83 and 275 candidates, running on platforms championing all sorts of causes.The 'candidates' lists have names such as 'The Security and Stability List', 'The Security and Justice List' and the 'Iraq List'. Many include fancy graphics, but few carry candidate photographs.
People will be voting by list without knowing the names or positions of their candidates. Is that democracy? Here is the reference.
