Commission sets another possible date for local elections
Baghdad / Mohammad Sabah
The Electoral Commission announced that the political parties in front of her two - week deadline to submit their lists of candidates to contest local elections scheduled for next September.
The Commission called for a commitment to deadlines set, confirmed that it will prevent the participation of any political entity did not submit lists of candidates within the stated deadline, and did not complete its registration as a political party.
The Commission confirms its readiness to use devices "Accelerator results" in the case decided to hold local elections on time this year.
Linking it to the National Alliance , the integration of local elections Balbrlmanah, scheduled to take place next year, the approval of the provincial law , which revolve around deep differences between the parliamentary parties.
And confirms the alliance, revelations (range) earlier, the existence of quasi - political agreement on the non - extension of the current Commission, against the non - renewal of any current member of the Board.
It concluded a meeting of the Electoral Commission, held on 31 May, and seen (range) a copy of it yesterday, to agree to receive lists of candidates for political parties approved by the Board of Commissioners, to participate in provincial councils 2017 elections starting than 1/6/2017 until end of working hours on Monday , 12 th / 6.
It stipulates that decisions of the meeting to allow political parties that are granted the license during the period referred to submit their lists of candidates to participate in the provincial elections.
Announced Prime Minister Haider al - Abadi, the beginning of this year, the date of the 16th of next September as the date for local elections. But the different blocs on the local elections law, and the fate of the Electoral Commission, whose mandate expires next September, make the commitment to this date difficult.
Until the moment the blocks did not decide to merge the local and parliamentary ballots, but circles are talking about an unspoken agreement in this regard.
Says Serbest Mustafa, chairman of the Electoral Commission Council, that " the periods of time set by the Electoral Commission to receive lists of party candidates, which were approved to participate in the provincial elections, enough."
He Serbest Mustafa, in an interview with the (range) yesterday that " the deadline will be the last of the parties and entities that did not get the license to complete its procedures during the specified period , " stressing that "any party did not submit its candidates during this period will not participate in provincial elections scheduled for next September. "
And on the possibility of a local ballot, the President of the Commission Council says that "it is up to the Presidency of the Council of Ministers and the Parliament to determine the date of provincial elections or merged through legislation that defines these timings and deadlines , " he said, adding that "setting a date local polling depends on the amendment elections law provincial and approved in parliament. "
And it delayed the differences between the components of the province of Kirkuk vote on the provincial elections law more than once. Kirkuk is divided between the components of the parties want local elections in accordance with the mechanism stipulated by the law presented by the government. This represents the trend of Kurdish parties and parties allied with it. And it calls for the parties to Karagokih other legislation of a special law regulating the provincial council elections. It is the opinion of the Arab and Turkmen components and some other minorities.
The House of Representatives Speaker Salim al - Jubouri show, last April, a book by the Electoral Commission confirmed that it was unable to hold provincial ballot on time for lack of access to the necessary financial allocations, and not to amend the law of provincial councils.
He stressed Serbest Mustafa saying that " the political parties if they committed themselves to these periods and new periods can election commission ballot provincial councils in September next without having any disabled or problem", pointing out that "all preparations are available and the list are present."
On the completion of logistical preparations such as registration Albaao metric and electronic voting devices, said the senior official in the election commission that the "hardware accelerator results will reach the first meal of them in the middle of the next month of July and will be included in the Council of the provincial special ballot." Serbest Mustafa stressed that "these devices will be sufficient for all polling stations because there is an exception to the provinces of Nineveh, Kirkuk and the Kurdistan region of the local elections."
The Electoral Commission revealed that (range), last February, its intention to reproduce the South Korean experience in election administration, by contracting to buy 59 000 device in order to switch to "electronic voting" and speed up the counting of votes and the announcement of results in a short period.
On the other hand praises the National Alliance , the new deadlines set by the Electoral Commission for the purpose of ratification of the parties and received lists of candidates, saying that " the call will stimulate a lot of parties to obtain licenses of incorporation."
MP says Mohammed Allkash, in a statement (term), that "imposed on the parties to complete registration in the party circle process six months from the date of the ballot before," he said . "These actions are part of the work of the elections carried out to prepare for the upcoming local elections Commission" .
Refers MP for the mass citizen, headed by Ammar al - Hakim, that " the Commission continuing to register Albaaomitri that the number of narrators in which 11 million out of 23 million voters were eligible to cast their ballots , " adding that "entering the accelerator device results is guaranteed during the next ballot."
And on the possibility of compliance with the constitutional deadlines, says Allkash that " the adoption of the provincial law is to determine when will be local elections in September or any other time , " adding "there is a political agreement on the non - extension of the Council of the current commission as well as the non - renewal of any member of the new commission" .
Despite demanding political forces to prevent former members from running, there is no legal justification for their exclusion from the competition circuit, which the Committee of Experts enter a new crisis that would disrupt its work. The blocks are looking for a legal way out of the impasse faced by the Committee of Experts charged with choosing a new Office of the Council, after nominate six of the current staff of the Electoral Commission.
