Iraqi Spokesman for the Independent Electoral Commission Iraq Farid Ayar dips his finger into a jar of indelible ink as he prepares to cast his ballot in Iraq's first free election at a polling station in the Baghdad Convention Center in Baghdad, Iraq, on Jan. 30, 2005. Everyone voting in the historic election has to mark their finger with the ink to indicate they have already voted as a means to deter voting fraud. Millions of Iraqis throughout the country are participating in Iraq's first free election in over 50 years.
