As a result of the law passed in response to complaints of fraud in the last national election, the top judicial authority in Iraq says it is taking charge of the Independent Election Commission.
The Judicial Supreme Council will pick judges who will be in charge of the commission and supervise the manual recount according to recent amendments to the law.
The amendments made to the election law also include annulling results from balloting abroad and camps for displaced people in four Sunni-dominated provinces
It’s uncertain whether the amendments will affect the results of the vote; no one bloc won a majority, and forming a new government can take months.
