2014 Iraqi Parliamentary Election
30 April 2014 · The federal republic · 328 seats, 165 for a majority
The open list form of party-list proportional representation, using the governorates as the constituencies, is the electoral system used. The counting system has been changed slightly from the largest remainder method to the modified Sainte-Laguë method due to a ruling by the Supreme Court of Iraq that the previous method discriminated against smaller parties.
Held as ISIS overran Anbar; voting was impossible in parts of the province, and the state lost Mosul weeks after the polls closed.
