Per Al Jazeera, millions of eligible voters casted their ballots in regional elections across Iraq "amid extremely tight security." Initial reports say the elections were overwhelmingly peaceful.

American soldier @trevor31u said it was a long day, but also encouraging.

@trevor31u (Baghdad): On a positive note, I didn't hear of any attacks today. Sounds like the Iraqi people are really embracing this whole democracy thing
