The Stars & Stripes has a reporter, Joseph Giordono, embedded with the 1/23 Marines around the towns of Hit and Baghdadi in the Anbar province, northwest of Fallujah. This article evaluates the differing opinions between military officials and local leaders on the upcoming elections. One quote: "Now, with some 100,000 Fallujah and Ramadi residents displaced during the fighting, registration will be even more difficult. To address that, officials said, citizens in Al Anbar will be allowed to register on the day of the vote and can cast their ballot at any polling station in the province, regardless of their hometown."
==================
In an update on Iraq, the New York Times mentions the elections in the Anbar province: "The spokesman for the Iraqi election commission, Fareed Ayar, said on Saturday that there would be 5,220 polling centers on election day everywhere in Iraq but Anbar Province, where the Sunni-dominated towns of Ramadi and Fallujah are located. Arrangements have not yet been made for polling centers in Anbar, he said."
