Members of Iraqi security forces and displaced people living in camps, including minority Yazidis , cast their ballots Sunday in early voting ahead of this week’s parliamentary election in Iraq .
The election, which will help determine whether Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani gets a second term, comes against the backdrop of fears of another conflict between Israel and Iran , and Iraq’s balancing act with Tehran and Washington.
