Background

Results
The elections used an indirect electoral system, in which the general public (only men over 18 were allowed to vote) elected 383 secondary voters, who in turn elected the 100 deputies of the Assembly.
Aftermath
Despite a strong campaign by the anti-treaty parties, the British administration succeeded in convincing the King and hesitant politicians and deputies to accept the treaty.[5][2] On 10 June 1924, the assembly convened to vote on the Anglo-Iraqi Treaty. 69 deputies attended the meeting and the assembly approved the treaty by a vote of 37–24.
