The Iraqi Independent High Election Commission (IHEC) has officially announced the dates for the election campaign period for the 2025 parliamentary elections.
On Thursday, July 10, 2025, Hassan Hadi, a member of IHEC’s media team, stated that the election campaign will begin on October 9 and conclude on November 8 — exactly 24 hours before the start of the special voting phase. The general election is scheduled to take place in November, although the exact date has not been confirmed in this announcement.
Hadi also revealed that 737,000 individuals have submitted applications to work as employees of the commission on election day, reflecting a high level of public interest and participation.
He warned that any candidate or political list found violating the campaign regulations will face strict penalties. Fines will range between 1 million and 25 million Iraqi dinars depending on the nature of the violation, and in some cases, offenders may be removed from the electoral process entirely.
