So far things seem to be proceeding as predicted with a wave of attacks after the polls opened. The Kurds and Shia seem to have all turned out in a 'festival atmosphere', but the Sunni turnout is very low. Only 22 dead so far despite multiple suicide attacks - I was expecting much higher so here's hoping the worst of it is over.
