		[ltr]Alsumaria News / Baghdad Asked the editor "Sumerian" a researcher at the Electoral Affairs Abdul Aziz Silverline Issawi new election law prepared according to the first field study in the Middle East, at a time when going debate about the electoral system in Iraq. And resulted in the study, which lasted nearly a year and included appointed by those concerned with the political and electoral academics, parliamentarians, politicians, experts and specialists and civil society activists, women and representatives of minorities, for providing the sound system one variable (proportional representation without a list) to a solution he sees researcher appropriate for the complexity that marred the electoral system during the last period and gives the political entities and large and small independents close opportunities to win a manner that achieves political stability and building a democratic civil state. He says al-Issawi said in an interview for "Alsumaria News", "The lack of electoral laws prior to achieve justice pay to search for a new law, because the electoral law comes at a time tailored with the philosophy of the political system, it is a circle per list enclosed in the National Assembly elections in 30 January 2005 to multiple departments in the House of Representatives election in the December 15, 2005, and finally open the menu named (list enclosed tail open) and the mechanism of the distribution of vacant seats in the elections of March 7, 2010. " He explains that these experiments election led to the discovery that the "crisis of the electoral system per give birth to the other, the latest controversy about which system most suitable for the upcoming parliamentary elections, the system (St Lego) which was applied in the provincial elections past and achieved tangible successes of political entities, small or system (Hundt ) put forward by the major political entities as an alternative to St Lego, which it says was the reason for the waste of a large number of their voices in the local elections. " He adds Issawi that "wherever Male election list the waste or theft of votes will take place, and the evidence for that is that what put both teams demonstrates a rejection almost entirely for election on the list, because the supporters Hundt reject mechanism Saint Lego, which is not only the list, by contrast, refuses advocates St Lego franchise way Hundt, which can only take place on the list as well, the proposed law came to a compromise that satisfies all parties by asking for the election system without proportional representation list (Single Transferable Vote). " And indicates the researcher that "the sound system one variable is (preferential system) in which voters order candidates according to preference them in circles multiple, the voters according to this system by voting for individual candidates rather than the lists of political, whereby a vote voter for one candidate, and then refers to preferences for for one or more, as the constituency includes several candidates to be elected, and the candidate first, which combines the largest number of votes obtained a denominator election is immediately a winner, in the case of failure to get the candidate on the denominator election is canceled candidate who has the lowest number of votes of preference First, with the redistribution of votes obtained by the candidates who obtained the second preference in proportion, and so on until it is fill the vacant seats of the constituency. " And Abdul Aziz received Silverline Issawi recipe "an expert in electoral affairs" after the presentation of his proposal to an ad hoc committee comprised of professors and experts in the elections. And divide Iraq according to the electoral system proposed to (70) constituencies, each constituency allocated from (4-6) seats according to population density, and compete in which all the components on the (325) seats in the House of Representatives, because the nomination individual constituencies small will given the large and small components and independents opportunities to win the close, away from the dominance of the big parties that they get the largest number of seats during the election list, whether open or closed. Depending on the number of seats allocated to each constituency in the last parliamentary elections, which took place on March 7, 2010, can determine the approximate number of constituencies proposed for each province to allocate (4-6) seats for each constituency. And the division of constituencies be making Baghdad 15 constituencies are small, and Nineveh seven circles, and Basra five circles, and Anbar three circles, Salahuddin three circles, and Diyala three circles, and Najaf three circles, and Karbala, two circles, and Wasit two circles, and Babel four circles, and Maysan two circles, Dhi Qar four circles, Diwaniyah two circles, and Muthanna two circles, and three circles Kirkuk, Arbil two circles, and Dohuk four circles, and Sulaymaniyah four circles. To clarify the mechanism of action of the regime in Iraq, suppose the law constituency small in Baghdad, as if they are a circle (Karrada) where (100) thousand voters and dedicated to her (4) parliamentary seats and where ( candidates, according to this system is designed ballot as follows: After the results were announced candidate (d) to 20,000 votes, and the candidate (b) 18,000 votes, and the candidate (i) 16,000 votes, and the candidate (g) 14,000 votes, and the candidate (f) 10,000 votes, and the candidate (a) 9000 votes, and the candidate (h) 8,000 votes, and the candidate (e) on the 5000 vote, was denominator electoral 21,000 votes minimum to win a seat in the constituency which has not been received by any of the candidates, here are going to preference the second write off another candidates and the distribution of its votes the candidates in proportion, by what happened to him each candidate of the total votes in the constituency, so the candidate (e) outside competition, and distributes its votes of (5000) to the candidates in proportion to, and what the percentage of the candidate (d) is equal to (20%) of the votes constituency, it means receiving (1000) Voice extra votes the candidate is unlikely (e) the number of its votes (21000) after preference II, and the candidate (d) winner seat first in the constituency, and then being preference third excluding other candidate is ( h), and (a) ... Thus, to be filled four seats allocated to the constituency. The advantages of this system is that it leads to political pluralism in real disappearance of every form of closure lists, and the negative consequences that result from this closure, as long as there is no list, every individual has the right to advance his personal capacity for the elections, also give the system the way for voters to give their preferences for candidates belonging to the political entity which gave him their votes in the previous election, or others disagree with their approach nationally or religiously, and pay MPs to retain close ties with their constituents to get their votes in the election cycle coming, and women can under this system to get a number of If nominated seats independently of the electoral lists, which often. ماتكون the leaders of men, and this system will contribute to increase the power of minorities, which is based in districts and areas may be small constituency or an important part of the constituency The al-Issawi has put this proposal as part of his book, "Systems elected Iraqi Council of Representatives after 2003", before being made to discuss the proposal in the seminar "election system parliamentarian in Iraq," set up by center Hammurabi for Research and Strategic Studies and participated in its discussions parliamentarians, politicians, academics and experts and specialists.[/ltr]
