    throughout the previous cycles, each election cycle was conducted with a new law, and these continuous amendments come as a result of what the major political forces sense of a loss of popularity and fear of a possible decline in seats, therefore, what is inclined due to performance and failure, may be amended by a carefully drawn electoral law.

    are “hybrid”.. Focusing on the “interest of the youth” to harm the future of the rising stars

    . So, this time we will have a seventh law for a sixth election, according to hybrid amendments that were not witnessed in previous versions of the election laws, despite the fact that[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]The current electoral law, which was legislated in 2023, came primarily according to the scale of the ruling classical political forces to get rid of the nightmare of the law.[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]Early 2021 and what it included of surprises, the rise of emerging powers and the decline of classic powers, and their fatal blow and the loss of many seats and votes.

    No "large" multiplicity of districts and no district for each governorate.. A compromise with moderate division

    The October elections law was based on 83 electoral districts, and dividing the districts succeeded in dividing the major political powers and their influence, but in the 2023 law, each governorate was counted as one electoral district, so that there would be 18 districts, and the principle of the winner was cancelled for the one with the highest votes, and the Saint-Laguë system was restored.

    The challenge of the rise of the second generation.. Fighting symbolism by giving new space to independents.

    Between the equation of what serves the emerging and small political forces in the 2021 Elections Law, and what serves the major political forces in the 2023 Law, the major political forces found themselves perhaps in a new challenge, which is the challenge of the rise of the second generation of their leaders, headed by Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani, who has become a concern for the political forces and the possibility of eating into their influence.


    The new amendment.. made the independents and al-Sudani "dispute" the opportunities between them

    . Therefore, there are talks and intentions to make a seventh amendment to the Elections Law, with a compromise solution that does not give preference to the emerging or to the political figures who rely on symbolism, that is, finding a middle law through which it is possible to control the emerging forces on the one hand, and al-Sudani and his allies on the other.

    which is summarized[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]The new idea, according to the proposed ideas, is to grant 20% of the seats according to the system of whoever gets the highest votes, while the remaining 80% of the seats will be divided according to the Sainte-Lague system.

    The one with the highest votes gets the seats.. and his surplus votes are not given to his team.

    through the “highest votes” component. Seats will be granted according to the votes that the person himself gets, and thus those with the highest votes will be deprived of using their surplus votes to give them to their lists and obtain more seats, as the goal is to[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]To increase the number of electoral districts, so that the number of districts is not 18, considering each governorate as a district, and it is not 83 districts as in the 2021 elections..

    Tigris and Euphrates.. The dividing line for the number of electoral districts

    There is no clear formula yet.. But the proposals may reach 36 electoral districts perhaps, according to the course of the river, so what lies to the right of the river is a district and what lies to the left of it is another district in each governorate, or that the electoral districts be divided according to the number of residents..
