Associated Press: Iranians hold identity papers as they wait in line to cast their ballots for local elections Friday Feb. 26, 1998 in a neighborhood on the outskirts of Tehran. Iranians cast ballots Friday in the nation's first election of local officials in 20 years, with reformists hoping to gain the upper hand in a power struggle against hard-liners in the Islamic government. About 330,000 candidates, including 5,000 women, are contesting the elections for Islamic Councils.
