Parliamentary elections were held in Iraq on 5 May 1958 to elect the members of the Chamber of Deputies. It was the last election in monarchical Iraq.
A managed election of the Hashemite monarchy: narrow franchise, heavy palace influence over candidacies and results, and a parliament that answered to the court more than the voters. Recorded here as history, not a fully free election.
