COPENHAGEN (Reuters) - Iceland's voters will head to polls on Saturday in a snap election that could potentially steer it towards seeking European Union membership, an issue that has divided the country for years.

The prospect of EU membership has resurfaced in an election campaign for the first time in more than a decade, with polls showing that voters are backing pro-EU parties.
