Iraq polls now closed

Polls are now closed across Iraq, after a day of voting that saw the ballot become the subject of violent attacks. 

There had been calls for the vote to be extended, amid concerns that all those who wanted to take part were not able to.

 However, these calls have not been heeded, and the last chance to vote in the country's first parliamentary elections since US withdrawal has now elapsed.
