Iraqis will go to the polls on Sunday, October 10, for their country's sixth parliamentary election. However, this election may be about a lack of votes. The turnout in Iraq's first free elections in 2005 was almost 80 percent. From then on the number of voters decreases. We speak to Al-Jazeera's Kurdish journalist Ahmed Alzawiti about the expectations in regards to this election.
