Following the ratification of the Constitution of Iraq on 15 October 2005, a general election was held on 15 December to elect a permanent 275-member Iraqi Council of Representatives. The elections took place under a list system, whereby voters chose from a list of parties and coalitions. 230 seats were apportioned among Iraq's 18 governorates based on the number of registered voters in each as of the January 2005 elections, including 59 seats for Baghdad Governorate.〔(local election results )〕 The seats within each governorate were allocated to lists through a system of Proportional Representation. An additional 45 "compensatory" seats were allocated to those parties whose percentage of the national vote total (including out of country votes) exceeds the percentage of the 275 total seats that they have been allocated. Women were required to occupy 25% of the 275 seats.〔(BBC NEWS | Middle East | Guide to Iraq's election )〕 The change in the voting system would give more weight to Arab Sunni voters, who make up most of the voters in several provinces. It was expected that these provinces would thus return mostly Sunni Arab representatives, after most Sunnis boycotted the last election. Turnout was high (79.6%). The White House was encouraged by the relatively low levels of violence during polling,〔(Iraqis flock to polls as insurgents urge Sunnis to vote | World news | The Guardian )〕 with one insurgent group making good on a promised election day moratorium on attacks, even going so far as to guard the voters from attack.〔(Iraqi Vote Draws Big Turnout Of Sunnis )〕 President Bush frequently pointed to the election as a sign of progress in rebuilding Iraq. However, post-election violence threatened to plunge the nation into civil war, before the situation began to calm in 2007. The election results themselves produced a shaky coalition government headed by Nouri al-Maliki. == Full results == Final uncertified results were released by the Independent Electoral Commission of Iraq on Friday 20 January 2006. Certified results are expected to be released within two weeks, after the adjudication of any appeals and after lists have submitted the names of people who will take the seats.〔(military bases international usb serial at ieciraq.org )〕 See also : Members of the 1st Iraqi Council of Representatives 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Iraqi parliamentary election, December 2005」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
