The International Center for Journalists, which helps to promote quality journalism world-wide, is raising money through an auction of award-winning photos by some of the most talented photo-journalists of our time. Viewing the pictures from elections around the world is a reminder of the freedoms we enjoy here and the cost of voting in other countries.

Take a look at the slideshow on their site. I was particularly intrigued by the photo of Dalit women standing in line to vote in India. The juxtaposition of some of these images is a commentary in itself.
