Local girls look at U.N. workers unloading ballot kits from a U.N. helicopter in Ghumaipayan Mahnow village, some 410 kilometers (256 miles) northeast of Kabul, Afghanistan, Oct. 4, 2004. By air is the only way to deliver the electoral material in the inaccessible areas of the Badakhshan province. A helicopter distributed 84 ballot boxes and electoral kits in 24 remote villages near Tajikistan's border to hold its first direct presidential vote on Oct. 9th.
