Good Luck.
Saudi Arabian women have been registering to vote for first time in their history. Women will be able to vote in city council elections later this year. They now have 21-day period to register. Saudi Gazette newspaper said first woman to register was Safinaz Abu Al-Shamat. She said she wanted to be, " first woman to arrive at centre" and first woman to register. She also said it was national duty to take part in elections. Another woman to register early was Jamal Al-Saadi. She told reporters that: "The participation of Saudi women in municipal elections as voters and candidates was dream for us. We are just at beginning of the road."

Letting women vote was one of plans of King Abdullah, who died earlier this year. Saudi government said giving women vote was important step. It added that it was, " significant milestone in progress". As well as being able to vote, many women also want to run for office and take up government positions. At least 70 women want to run for office, and more than 80 have registered as campaign managers. One of women who wants to be candidate in December elections is 36-year-old Haifa al-Hababi. She said she would campaign with message for change. She said that: "Change is life. government has given us this tool and I intend to use it."
