Jumping through hoops - quite literally.<br/> <br />The Libyan Special Forces show off their readiness to keep the peace during the country's first elections since the fall of Muammar Gaddafi.<br/> <br />And polling stations are readying themselves for Saturday when voters will select an assembly to choose a replacement for the interim government and to help draft a constitution.<br/> <br />For many the occasion is a cause for celebration.<br/> <br />(SOUNDBITE) (Arabic) RESIDENT OF TRIPOLI, SADAT AL BADRI, SAYING:<br/> <br />"Really, Saturday will be a special day in the history of Libya. It is the conclusion of dozens of years of sacrifice. I hope that all Libyans will go to polling stations."<br/> <br />Some 80 percent of eligible voters have put their names down. That's around 2.7 million people.<br/> <br />Arab League observers say the Election Commission has met all international standards.<br/> <br />But the credibility of the result will be questionable if voters are too scared to turn out or if post-vote disputes turn bloody.<br/> <br />Lily Grimes, Reuters
