TOP 10 RIGHT NOW
On Saturday the women of Saudi Arabia will cast ballots for the first time in their country's history in municipal council races. Women are also allowed to run as candidates for the first time – about 900 of the nearly 7,000 candidates are female. This election is seen as a modest one – the races are for low-level positions – but it has been hailed as a signficant step toward suffrage in a country that bans women from driving.
