The Iraqi Communications and Media Commission has called on all candidates and electoral groups to adhere to electoral silence and refrain from violating the regulations during this period.
The commission announced that it is monitoring all websites and media outlets in coordination with the Independent High Electoral Commission in Iraq to prevent violations of the regulations during the electoral silence period.
The Independent High Electoral Commission in Iraq also announced that the total number of candidates for the sixth round of Iraqi parliamentary elections is 7,744 candidates and has disqualified 848 candidates from the electoral race.
Jumana al-Ghalai, a spokesperson for the commission, announced that the commission has authorized 304 people as representatives of the United Nations, the Arab League, the European Union, and a number of embassies and institutions related to the elections to monitor the election process.
He stated that the number of media outlets that will cover the Iraqi elections is 1,500, including television networks, news agencies, and publications.
It is expected that special voting will be held tomorrow, Sunday, for security forces and military personnel, prisoners, hospitalized patients, and displaced persons in camps.

The parliamentary elections are considered the most important elections in Iraq because, in addition to electing 329 members of parliament, the Iraqi parliament is responsible for electing the president in the first session of parliament. The president is required to appoint a prime minister candidate from among the largest parliamentary faction to form the government cabinet in the first session of parliament. After selecting the members of his government team, the prime minister must introduce his ministers to parliament to obtain a vote of confidence. If a vote of confidence is granted, the government can begin its official activities for the next four years.
