The forum was attended by a group of academics from various fields who are interested in electoral affairs. During the session, the legal framework for elections—specifically the Iraqi Council of Representatives Election Law—was explained. The discussions also covered the importance of elections, the democratic process, procedures for updating the voter register, as well as information about ballot papers and polling centers.
The conversation further explored the role of academics in the electoral process and how they can encourage voters to participate in the upcoming elections.
