An election poster of Afghan President Hamid Karzai is posted in Jalalabad, Nangarhar province, east of Kabul, Afghanistan on Tuesday, Oct. 27, 2009. Afghan officials scheduled a runoff election Nov. 7 between President Hamid Karzai and challenger Abdullah Abdullah after U.N.-backed auditors threw out nearly a third of the incumbent's votes, dropping him below the 50 percent threshold required for a first-round win in the 36-candidate field.
