Baghdad / Mohammed Sabah
Concurrently with the closure of the registration of parties, the Commission announced yesterday the registration of 200 political entities, including thirty have obtained establishment licenses conditional on the completion of registration procedures later.
As the Commission continues to prepare for the elections scheduled for next May, but members of the legal committee ruled out the elections because of the request of Sunni and Kurdish forces to postpone. They spoke of several scenarios of postponement, including five-month delay in voting.
Karim al-Tamimi, spokesman for the Electoral Commission, told (Al-Mada) that "the parties that have been granted leave to establish more than 200 parties." "On Monday, December 25, it will be the last date for the registration of parties that intend to participate in the upcoming parliamentary and local elections."
Last week, the Electoral Commission announced the extension of party registration until the end of official working hours on December 25, and the extension of registration of electoral alliances until the end of official working hours on January 7.
The Electoral Commission extended the deadline for the registration of parties in an attempt to open participation in the forthcoming elections to the largest possible number of political entities.
"The process of registering parties continues throughout the year without any interruption to the parties that do not intend to participate in the elections," said a member of the council. He stressed that "the Electoral Commission will announce on Tuesday the numbers of parties that are entitled to participate in the electoral process, which the government has scheduled for the next May."
The Council of Ministers decided, at its last meeting, to submit the date of the local elections, from 15 May 2018 to 12 May.
The Council of Ministers has already set, in October last, mid-May next date for the parliamentary elections. He affirmed his commitment to providing the safe and necessary environment for holding elections, returning displaced persons to their areas and voting electronically.
In October, the Electoral Commission proposed that Saturday, 12 May 2018, be the date for the election of the Chamber of Deputies for its fourth session.
Due to the delay in reviewing the files of the parties in the accountability and justice and forensic evidence, the Electoral Commission resorted to granting conditional establishment permits, under which the parties undertake not to include members of the procedures of accountability and justice.
In this context, Karim al-Tamimi revealed that "the existence of more than thirty parties granted conditional leave until the completion of the audit of its members by the accountability and justice and forensic evidence," and noted that "170 parties to the leaves of fundamentalism after the completion of all procedures and conditions of technical, administrative and financial."
The member of the Council of the Commission that it "continues in its meetings with the Legal Committee in the House of Representatives, which revolves in its entirety on the implementation of some minor amendments to the laws in force for local and parliamentary elections," noting that the amendments do not exceed seven items only.
The Electoral Commission, in November last year, the Presidency of the House of Representatives and the financial and legal committees "to accelerate the legislation of the provincial elections and the Parliament in a period not to exceed the middle of December next," warning that the lack of legislation of these laws will push them to work in accordance with the laws in force.
On the nature of the amendments proposed by the Electoral Commission, Karim al-Tamimi explained that it "includes the number of candidates in each constituency, the testimony and age of the candidate, in addition to the electoral system, the mechanism of counting and electronic counting, which will replace the manual, and the special vote, which will take place 48 hours before the date of the general vote" .
"The Commission has agreed with some members of the Legal Committee in the House of Representatives to make minor amendments to the electoral law," Tamimi said, adding that "the Electoral Commission began to implement the law that has been in effect since the beginning of the process of updating the voter register. He revealed that "open the door of electoral alliances on 27/12, and will close on the seventh of next month."
A member of the Electoral Commission said that "the period of updating the voter register ended after 37 months," adding that "the number of voters reached 24 million allowed to vote after the rate of modernization 44%." He said "the modernization of the records of 270 thousand and give them a modern biometric cards through the mobile teams."
On the financial allocations requested by the Commission earlier to complete preparations, said Tamimi that "
Members of the Legal Committee continue their consultations with the Electoral Commission on amendments to the two influential laws, with a view to facilitating their subsequent passage in the House of Representatives.
MP Hassan al-Shammari, a member of the legal committee, describes the meetings between the Electoral Commission and the members of the legal committee as "individual and does not represent the opinion of the parliamentary legal committee." He denied holding a formal meeting between the legal committee and the commission to discuss election laws.
Al-Shammari said in a statement that "the ideas reached to the Commission in terms of the election law are personal and individual ideas." He called on the Electoral Commission to "be concerned with the implementation of its procedures and not dictate the amendments to the House of Representatives."
A member of the Legal Committee that "
The member of the virtue bloc that "the amendments before it a long legislative track, require discussion of the law in detail and thoughtful of all parties and blocs and parliamentary committees."
Al-Shammari revealed that the Commission sent a letter to the parliamentary legal committee demanding that some amendments be made to the electoral law. "But it is not the mandate of the Commission to determine the amendments to be made to the electoral law, but the task of the House of Representatives legislative."
And on the fate of the elections, whose claims for postponement are rising, said a member of the virtue bloc that "the dates proposed by the Council of Ministers for the elections need to be ratified by the House of Representatives."
"The Shammari that" the Union of Iraqi forces and Kurdish forces are demanding to postpone the dates of the elections. " He stresses that "the House of Representatives is able to change the dates proposed by the government and the adoption of new timing as he deems appropriate." He considered that "the dates of elections and the decision or extension and postponement is up to the House of Representatives."
The former Minister of Justice, "I expect to postpone the elections by 50% given the existing data and presented within the parliamentary blocs." He pointed out that "the existence of a scenario to be studied between the parliamentary blocs to postpone the elections to the month of October next of 2018." "Everything is in this country."
