Icelanders are electing a new parliament after disagreements over the economy, immigration, and the fallout from volcanic eruptions forced Prime Minister Bjarni Benediktsson to pull the plug on his coalition government and call an early election.
Saturday’s election is Iceland’s sixth general election since the 2008 financial crisis devastated the economy of the North Atlantic Island nation and ushered in a new era of political instability.
