Iraq Election Objections Won’t Alter Preliminary Results
(MENAFN) Iraq’s electoral commission announced on Saturday that challenges to the outcomes of the parliamentary elections will not change the preliminary results.
“All objections submitted so far are classified as complaints only,” explained Hassan Salman, the commission’s legal adviser, to a state news agency.
He added, “It is not possible to file an appeal against preliminary results.”
Salman outlined that complaints are divided into three categories: “yellow,” which are minor and dismissed on procedural grounds; “green,” which require investigation and must be resolved within 72 hours; and “red,” which have the potential to influence the results.
He emphasized that the commission “has not recorded any red complaints so far.”
He also mentioned that the resolution of complaints “may be faster than in previous elections” and could be completed by next week.
Regarding the polling stations whose results are still pending, Salman attributed the delay to minor technical issues.
He noted that the number of affected stations is limited and does not impact the announced results.
The legal adviser added that once the Board of Commissioners, the commission’s highest administrative and regulatory authority, certifies the final results, candidates will have a three-day window to submit appeals, which the board will examine within seven days.
Preliminary outcomes from the Nov. 11 elections showed the Reconstruction and Development Coalition, led by Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani, in first place.
