Independent Electoral Commission of Iraq
- Independent Electoral Commission of Iraq
The Independent Electoral Commission of Iraq (IECI) is Iraq's electoral commission. It was set up in May 2004 by the Coalition Provisional Authority to begin work towards holding an election in the country. The electoral commission is headed by a nine member board. Seven of those members are voting and must be Iraqi citizens. The other two members are the Chief Electoral Officer and an outside expert appointed by the United Nations. In the 2005 election the expert was Colombian Carlos Valenzuela. The current Chief Electoral Officer is Adil Lami. The commission set up and ran the January 2005 Iraqi legislative election as well as the simultaneous elections for provincial governments and the Kurdistan Regional Government. It also set up the voting places in fourteen nations outside of Iraq. The Commission is also tasked with dealing with complaints about the election. In the lead up to the 2005 election the Commission had some 6000 employees. Several Commission workers were killed by insurgents. Many more quit because of the danger, or refused to go to dangerous parts of the country.
