Shafaq News - Baghdad
On Monday, Iraq’s Independent High Electoral Commission (IHEC) announced that the official campaign period for candidates will begin in early October, confirming that voter registration is no longer accessible.
Speaking to Shafaq News, the commission’s media team spokesperson, Hassan Hadi Zayer, highlighted that the window for updating voter records was extensive, which allowed the commission to revise the data of more than two million voters.
He also clarified that the minorities’ seat allocations are determined by the current election law, with no plans to increase them.
Iraq is scheduled to conduct the parliamentary elections on November 11, 2025.
Earlier this month, IHEC revealed its need for approximately 250,000 polling staff, emphasizing that it is also seeking official approval to issue commendation letters to those participating on Election Day.
