Vision to draft a new electoral law Elections of the Iraqi Council of Representatives in 2018

Abstract

In Iraq, calls for political reform are being raised, adopted by various official and popular activities. In support of the idea that a healthy democratic and electoral process is leading reform, we have initiated this research from our conviction that reform of the political system requires attention to the reform of the electoral system. Elections are tightly associated with democracy. In order to determine the nature of election and electoral systems, we discussed the historical development of democracy in Iraq and the types of electoral systems adopted, in order to attain the proposal that we have adopted in this research.
