    Baghdad/Al-Masala: Political forces in Iraq are competing to amend the election law, while the Shiite national movement calling for amendment remains silent.
    The proposed amendments focus on returning to the constituency system and modifying the method of dividing the winning votes, but the Coordination Framework itself is divided on this amendment.
    Parliament has witnessed several amendments to the election laws since 2005, with nine legislative and local proposals.
    Last year, Parliament made another amendment to the electoral law at the insistence of the “framework” to abolish the multi-district system and replace it with the “Sainte-Laguë” method.
    The Shiite alliance succeeded in collecting about half of the seats in the local elections held last year, although some governorates were out of its control.
    The results of the formation of local governments are among the reasons that push some parties to adopt amending the electoral law.
    Broader alliances are expected before the next elections, which are due to take place at the end of 2025.
    The Saint-Laguë method produced 7 winning forces in the councils, and in Baghdad more than 11 currents and parties participated in the local government. This diverse participation led to the birth of unstable councils, according to Shiite forces, which caused conflicts and difficult settlements to choose the governor.
    The Presidency of the Republic denied the existence of a “deal” with the framework regarding amending the law, while it monitors a desire within the Shiite alliance to discuss amending the elections law in Parliament. It seems that Nouri al-Maliki is the spearhead of this supposed amendment, in contrast to the position of Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani and his allies.
    Proposals revolve around returning to the multi-district system and dividing the governorate into two districts, while there are other ideas to amend the “Sainte-Lague” system to 1.9 instead of 1.7 to reduce the number of winning parties.
    The previous multi-district system, which divided the country into 83 districts, had given the Sadrists a 73-seat advantage, before Sadr decided to boycott the political system in June 2022 and withdraw his deputies.
