Basic Explanation

 

Seat allocations for Iraq's 275-member National Assembly are calculated as follows:


The total number of valid votes cast (8,456,266) is divided by 275 to give an initial quota of 30,750.
Any list which has less votes than the initial quota is excluded. All those that have as many votes of more than the initial quota are filtered out.
A new total votes is calculated based on the total number of votes cast to the filtered out lists (8,011,450).
A seat quota is then calculated by dividing the new total by 275, which is 29,132.55.
The number of votes a filtered party received is divided by the seat quota to give the total number of seats. Remainders are dealt with by giving an extra seat to each list in order of highest remainder until all 275 seats are allocated. " 

I've just done a basic check against the actual numbers from the Iraq OCV website, which can be found here, and the numbers seem correct.

Apologies

My apologies for not posting anything in a while.

Now that the elections are over, I'll be posting when the final results are out.

The focus of this blog will shift specifically to which parties gained seats, what role they will play in the government, and how the government will be formed.

I will soon post the timeline for what happens next, i.e., the legislative process, the constitutional framework, etc.

Comments and opinions will be sparse (I'll leave that for the other blogs out there), since I find it more important to stick to facts and solid information.
