Iraqis put democracy into action today
in elections held across the country.
The polls have closed and a vote-counting has begun.
Voters went to 6,000 polling stations
to pick from among 14,000 candidates
including 4,000 women.
Security is very tight though,
voters were searched before they entered the polls.
The borders with Iran and Syria were sealed
and a curfew has been put into place.
Now even the United Nations was involved
in monitoring those elections.
