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 in wartime. This election took place while the country was engaged in War in Iraq (2013–2017). Conflicts →

Held as ISIS overran Anbar; voting was impossible in parts of the province, and the state lost Mosul weeks after the polls closed.
