Governorate or provincial elections were scheduled to be held in
In the summer of 2020, after protests around the country specifically demanded the dissolution of provincial administrations,[3] the ruling parties decided to postpone any decision on when to hold new provincial elections until after the early parliamentary election planned for October 2021.[4]
In March 2023, Iraq's parliament passed a resolution setting the provincial elections on 18 December 2023.[5][6][7] Campaigning started on 1 November.[8]
