Iraqi Electoral Commission Breaks Silence, Defends Voting Results
The Independent Higher Election Commission broke its longstanding silence and issued a lengthy statement. The statement concluded that the polling process and vote count were conducted under ministerial and international supervision, adding its willingness to provide any data needed to cement confidence in results. Iraq’s Federal Supreme Court, meanwhile, rejected a request to cancel the parliamentary election results over allegations of voting irregularities, but said it will accept complaints put forth by doubters. “The Iraqi supreme federal court met and discussed the complaints and decided not to proceed any further," the spokesman of the court, Eyas Al Samok said. Samok stated that the issue must be raised to the Independent High Electoral Commission, “which is responsible for accepting complaints and objections to alleged violations during the election period.”
