Only six months is left for preparing for the Iraqi Kurdistan parliamentary elections. Political parties have not agreed to amend electoral law, and HIC’s legal term has expired that needs to be renewed before it can manage the upcoming elections.

HIC has introduced three proposals to the presidency of the Iraqi Kurdistan parliament to reactivate HIC’s and solve their problems. Before holding the elections, first, the HIC needs to be reactivated and electoral laws amended, Muna Qahwachee told Kurdsat news.

Suppose the electoral law is not amended, and HIC’s legal term is not renewed. In that case, the elections could be postponed, she added.

HIC is the executive body of an election; for the elections to process smoothly, the HIC has asked the Parliament "six months" to prepare for the elections. 

Even after months of HIC's legal term expiration, the Parliament has kept silent, said Shirwan Zrar, spokesperson for HIC. 

Last week, 39 cross-party Kurdish lawmakers, except Kurdistan Democratic Party MPs, introduced a bill to Parliament’s presidency to amend electoral laws. The lawmakers wanted the bill to be discussed soon. 

The President of Iraqi Kurdistan declared 1st of October to be the day of the general parliamentary elections. Due to severe disagreements between political parties, preparations are not made for the elections.
