According to an Anadolu correspondent, the polls will open at 7 am (0400GMT) and close at 6 pm (1500GMT).
The Iraqi News Agency (INA) said that more than 1.3 million military personnel were voting in 809 polling centers having 4,501 stations across the country.
The early voting means that the security and military personnel will be able to exercise their constitutional right since they will be on the ground to secure voting centers during the general voting date of November 11.
INA says that there are 26,538 internally displaced citizens who are also eligible to vote on Sunday at 97 polling stations in the 27 centers alongside the armed forces.
According to an interview, Interior Minister Abdul Amir Al Shammari reported to the agency that the special voting process was running smoothly and in an organized fashion with high levels of security at voting points.
Overall, 7,768 men and 2,248 women are vying against 5,520 men and 329 seats in the Council of Representatives in Iraq that elects the president and endorses the government. The electoral commission said there were approximately 21 million Iraqis registered to vote.
The existing parliament (comprising 320 legislators) and majority of whom represent Shia parties and blocs started serving its term on January 9, 2022, and will come to an end on January 8, 2026.
Iraq is required by law to conduct legislative elections at least 45 days prior to the termination of the parliament.
The power in Iraq is customarily divided among the key communities of the country: the presidency belongs to Kurds, the office of prime minister to Shias, and the office of speaker of the parliament to Sunnis, so that all the sects would be represented in the government.
