BAGHDAD / JD / .. open auction sale electoral votes in front of the large blocs of candidates to participate in the next parliamentary elections, which will take place in 30 of the next month, although forbidden by religious authorities.

Provides growth, growth provides, shouted the reality of the poor, who already knows the outcome of the election, turnout began to sell the cards, inside Iraq, especially popular areas, and outside the countries where there is a displaced Iraqis.

This fact acknowledged its existence, and deprived him of reference, and an advisory opinion issued earlier this month banned the sale of the voter card and electronic electoral candidates, as well as providing gifts to voters to vote for them. 

Said Sheikh Abdul Mahdi al-Karbalai Certified Reference highest in Iraq, Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani during his Friday sermon that the price of the ballot has reached a quarter of a million Iraqi dinars due to the need of some people for money or for their unwillingness to participate in the elections.Stressing that buying or selling votes is forbidden in Islam.

Conversely racing a number of party candidates Shiite and Sunni, in the neighboring countries to buy electoral votes versus a handful of dollars to be paid to two equal parts before and after the voting, earning over Mhacdan times what the sound received by the seller.

According to witnesses who got / JD / complete information, including the names of the heads of blocs and parties representing the two components the largest in Iraq, conducts buying votes in Jordan compared to U.S. $ 100, and raised one of the Shiite blocs amount to $ 500 and more for one vote, in addition to facilities , which is not necessarily to go to the polling station voter but gives a copy of his passport to the promoter of the candidate is to vote on his behalf.

According to a witness who spoke to / JD / he received a telephone call from one of the candidates Mahhdin asking him to vote for one of Almrhachat for Sunni component, versus the amount of hundred dollars received half the amount now and the remaining day of the vote.

According to the witness, Ahmed Al Ketbi, the promoter of Anni just refused to sell a voice telling on me, "You need to fils per here in Jordan."

He pointed out that the Senate a year, has the campaign gives a hundred dollars for each person who gives him his voice, adding that most of the houses are Mrakza candidates to collect the votes and the money to pay ongoing operations.

He Ketbi, while a Shiite Islamist parties, Fmasalt mobilize heavily to buy votes compared to $ 500 and more, and the case itself (copy passport is no need for the coming of the voter to cast his vote).

And the promise of another party, the Iraqi dish words promoters who moved Ketbi (any Iraqi elect "so and so" in helping them in the Iraqi Embassy in Jordan).

And tells the case of preparedness for the Iraqi elections in Jordan, is Mamugod on the ground, the polling stations Official ranging from (3-4), but there are fakes to be in the homes of the candidates and tribal leaders and promoters of them that receive copies of the passports of Iraqis living in Jordanian cities to vote on their behalf for money.

It also sounds a foregone conclusion, according to the witness Ketbi, for being one of those who have applied to work at the polling days of the Electoral Commission, pointing out that most of the centers under the control of the candidates and voter adults who do not go to the voice comes in control of the reins of the elections.

And receive a promoter for the candidates who seek to convince Iraqis in Jordan to sell their votes in various ways, fold pays to the seller of the electoral vote, the taxpayer is the sole candidate for them, as confirmed Ketbi, an Iraqi living in Jordan for years.

For its part, the Commission confirmed its intention to take severe punishment for any entity proves to buy electronic voter cards. 

 She added that the card can not be used only by the owner's personal, have formed committees in coordination with the Ministry of Interior to monitor the state of the sale and purchase of electronic voting card. 

He indicated that the Penal Code article 292 punishes any person to sell or buy a personal document does not has his onion imprisonment for a term not exceeding 5 years for both parties. / End / Nazek Mohammed /

jeep,

I was thinking along the same lines. The poor, even here, have no real advocate. There is a blame the victim attitude that is pervasive in our society. Even the so called "boot-srappers'" are guilty of allowing their candidates of cutting straps before the poor can rise. The saddest commentary however is that a faction of the middle class, has been duped into believing that they have"arrived" and forgotten their roots. When my blessing arrives "soon" I promise to never forget that I have more in common with people struggling to make it including the poor and the middle classers, than the social elite who do not care who they hurt to climb to the top. You would think after we saw what did not happen to the banks and bankers after they destroyed countless lives, that people would wake up and realize that neither party cares about the middle masses or the poor. I will also work to change this once Iraq finishes on the pot.
