The government is moving to determine the month of September 2017 as the date for local elections, rather than the month of April of the same year, but the new date, according to the Commission, does not guarantee the holding of elections in Mosul, is expected to continue military operations until that time. A view that was shared with UNHCR deputy governors who expect that the processes take longer than advertised.
It is likely that the vote of the Cabinet, in its regular Tuesday, the presumed date after he voted in an extraordinary session held, on Sunday evening, the amendments to the election law.
It included recent amendments to reduce the members of local councils in half, and the abolition of the boards just below the districts, as well as the adoption of a new amendment to the "St. Lego" system for the calculation of votes.

In turn, stressed Kata Zubai, a member of the Electoral Commission, said the government has asked the recent identification earliest date on which you can conduct local elections, she replied that the "September 16 of next year."
He guessed Zubai, through contact with the (range) yesterday, that "the Council of Ministers will vote on Tuesday on a deadline for the elections."
But the Commission by suggesting that the new date does not include the holding of elections in Mosul, which is still experiencing battles, stressing "the need for OHCHR to 7 months of preparations at a minimum before the ballot."
In the meantime, you expect Deputy conductivity battle that goes on Mosul several months again. Since the start of operations, which entered the 45th day, Iraqi forces have liberated the fourth only area of the city ..
MP says the victory of al-Jubouri, a member of the Alliance forces, L (range) yesterday, "Since the month and a half and we are still in the left half of the coast area. We have many months to liberate all the city and re-displaced people."
And see the MP for Nineveh need to restore cohesion and coexistence to Mosul before inviting its people to the polls. She adds, "if it does not settle the situation and compensate the families of the martyrs and we reconstruction of the city, you will not make any election."
The Iraqi government has postponed the provinces of Nineveh and Anbar elections in 2014, for a period of three months due to the security situation.
Election Law
Attorney confirms Messenger Abu Hasna, a member of Dawa bloc and member of the parliamentary committee of the regions, "The local elections will be held in September 2017 and saw" It's enough time for the Commission end of voter registration. "
Sees Abu Hasna, in connection with the (range), "The integration of local elections would create a problem with the legislative simple voters, especially in villages, where most of them do not know to read and write."
Presumably during this period that the government launches the amount of 619 billion dinars, as provisions demanded by the Commission to conduct local and legislative elections, after it can not be that there is no funding.
The MP Abu Hasna said provincial law, which the Council of Ministers recently voted on the amendments "included identifying the members of the provincial council with 10 only, and is increased by one per 100 thousand people, that to no more than 34 members to the census."
The member of the Committee of the Regions that "amendments also included the abolition of the boards respects with the survival of district councils," expected to "election districts with the provinces in one appointment."
It will be the first election districts only after elections in 2005.
As well as to adopt a new system of "St. Lego" Edit dividing the vote on the winning 1.7, in contrast to the formula adopted in the local and legislative elections two years.
The political blocs fought local elections in 2013, according to the equation adopted Act (St Lego) to calculate the votes. The political parties have complained later that the local election law produced "concerned" alliances in the provinces.
According to this system, the seats are distributed through only one stage, the division of votes obtained by each entity on the individual figures for the number of seats allocated to each province.
Performs the search for the highest number of the results of the division to give one seat. This method is repeated until all constituency seats exhaustion.
The House of Representatives has voted by majority, ahead of elections in 2013, the amendment to the provincial councils, which became that would preserve the voices of small entities and prevents that swallowed up by the large blocs, as happened in previous ballots, according to the performers for "St. Lego" the old version election law.
