Iraq goes to the polls today, to vote on the proposed new constitution.
Security is very tight, all traffic is banned, voting stations opened at 7 am and are due to close at 5 pm.
Some opinion polls suggest that the constitution will be ratified. In which case, the voters in December will be able to elect a fully empowered four year parliament.
A ratified constitution will hopefully stabilise the country.
