Iceland is holding new elections on Saturday after the coalition government resigned. Economy, housing, and healthcare are the issues that have dominated the election campaign.

Heavy snowfall and strong winds forecasted in some areas are feared to reduce voter turnout.

Prime Minister Bjarni Benediktsson's three-party government, consisting of the Green Left, the conservative Independence Party, and the center-right-oriented Progressive Party, resigned in October after deep divisions.

Although asylum policy was one of the issues that the government primarily fell on, it is not an issue that Icelandic voters prioritize highest according to opinion polls.
