An electoral worker empties a ballot box after the end of voting at a polling station in Arbil, 310 km (193 miles) north of Baghdad July 25, 2009. Iraqi Kurds voted on Saturday in elections expected to keep President Masoud Barzani in power in Kurdistan and unlikely to allay voters' worries about corruption or end a feud with Baghdad over land and oil.
