Peace, Protection, And The Polls: Lessons Learned From The 2023 Iraqi Provincial Elections
Programme Brief
The December 18, 2023, Iraqi provincial elections marked a critical juncture in the nation's democratic journey. This was the first provincial election in over a decade, presenting a vital opportunity to restore and fortify democratic principles and to understand the desires of Iraqi voters.

Impacts on peace efforts, the protection of civilians, and the political future of Iraq are likely to be widespread – at the provincial, national, and regional levels.
