TIKRIT, Iraq (January 10, 2006) "Today at the District Election Office in Tikrit, Coalition Forces met with Salah Ad Din Province officials to begin planning for the upcoming provincial elections.
A special team of Rakkasans from the 3rd Battalion, 320th Field Artillery Regiment, 3rd Brigade Combat Team met with officials to decide what role Coalition Forces would play in the elections and to determine what help was needed.
The actual date of the provincial elections will not be determined until the United Nations releases the official count from the national elections. The Iraqi people requested UN assistance processing the results from the December elections, after allegations were made of tampering and fraudulent ballots. In anticipation of the release, planning is now underway to prepare for the provincial elections expected to take place in February.
According to Akeel Husseen Abdullah, director of the election office, the Iraqi constitution states that elections are held in order from national to provincial to local. Without the results of the national elections, the next step in the election process can not be taken. However, all involved in the Salah Ad Din Province elections will be ready to take the next step when the time comes.
