Baghdad – The Independent High Electoral Commission (IHEC) of Iraq announced that registration for political parties, electoral lists, and coalitions wishing to participate in the upcoming parliamentary elections will officially begin on May 15, 2025.

According to IHEC officials, all registration procedures must be completed at the Commission’s National Office in Baghdad. The registration window will remain open until May 4, 2025, which marks the final deadline for political entities to formalize their participation in the national vote.

Emad Jamil, head of IHEC’s media office, confirmed that preparations for the electoral process are well underway. This includes technical upgrades to biometric registration systems, real-time vote transmission technology, and enhanced procedures aimed at ensuring transparency and adherence to international standards.
