Committee member Ahmed Al-Badri told our agency that the draft, submitted by members of Parliament, has been referred by the Council's Presidency to the Legal Committee for review.
He also acknowledged divisions among political blocs, noting, 'Some parties favor revising the law, while others insist on preserving it in its current form.'
Despite the dispute, he affirmed that parliamentary elections will proceed as scheduled, with the Independent High Electoral Commission (IHEC) preparing under the current legal framework.
On Wednesday, the Iraqi cabinet approved November 11, 2025, as the official election date. Commenting on the announcement, IHEC media team head Imad Jamil confirmed there are no concerns regarding the timeline, although the commission has yet to receive formal notification.

Iraq urges Turkey to increase water flow amid severe crisis
Also in Iraq Baghdad-Erbil oil talks stall over federal refusal to sign written deal: Source Three suspected ISIS members killed in Kirkuk operation Three rockets target Kirkuk Iraq president appoints new Federal Supreme Court chief amid judicial turmoil A+ A- ERBIL, Kurdistan Region - Iraqi Parliament Speaker Mahmoud al-Mashhadani met with his Turkish counterpart Numan Kurtulmus in Ankara on Tuesday, urging increased water releases into the Tigris and Euphrates rivers as Iraq grapples with a worsening water crisis, largely caused by upstream dam projects in Turkey. In a statement, the Iraqi legislature said Mashhadani stressed the urgent need to boost water flows, "especially at this time of year, and in a way that ensures water reaches all Iraqi provinces, particularly the southern ones." Iraq is heavily reliant on the Tigris and Euphrates for its water supply, with both rivers originating in Turkey. However, Ankara's large-scale dam developments, including the Southeast Anatolia Project (GAP), have significantly reduced downstream flow into Iraq. The reduced water supply has contributed to widespread drought and desertification, with reports indicating that Iraq is receiving less than 40 percent of its historical water share. Addressing broader regional concerns, Mashhadani told his Turkish counterpart that his visit 'comes at a difficult and existential security juncture and challenge in the Middle East,' stressing that Iraq aims to avoid being drawn into regional conflicts. The meeting follows a major regional escalation that began on June 13, when Israeli airstrikes inside Iran killed several senior military commanders and nuclear scientists. In retaliation, Iran launched missile and drone attacks on Israel. Tensions escalated further on June 20 when the United States struck three of Iran's key nuclear facilities - Fordow, Isfahan, and Natanz. Iran responded the next day by launching ballistic missiles at al-Udeid Air Base in Qatar, the largest US military base in the region. US President Donald Trump brokered a ceasefire between Israel and Iran last week, which so far appears to be holding. Throughout the conflict, Iraq consistently called for de-escalation and condemned what it described as 'Israeli aggression' against Iran. Baghdad also rejected the use of Iraqi airspace for launching attacks on Iran and filed a complaint against Israel with the United Nations Security Council (UNSC). For his part, the Turkish Parliament Speaker Kurtulmus was quoted by the Iraqi parliament's Tuesday statement as hoping that Mashhadani's visit 'could be a good omen for strengthening and developing economic and political relations between the two countries.' He emphasized the shared history and geography between Turkey and Iraq, stating, 'Our future is one, and we hope Iraq becomes one of the region's strongest countries.' Both sides agreed on enhancing economic cooperation, encouraging Turkish investment in Iraq, and improving bilateral communication, the statement concluded. Iraq and Turkey are currently engaged in agreements and negotiations regarding water sharing. In April 2024, Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia' al-Sudani and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan signed a multi-billion-dollar strategic water agreement in Baghdad. The 10-year pact includes joint projects for improved water management on the Tigris and Euphrates rivers and permits Turkish investment in coordination with Iraqi authorities. Despite this milestone agreement, Iraq continues to face a severe water crisis. In late May, a senior official from the Iraqi water resources ministry told Rudaw that the country's water reserves had dropped to their lowest levels in 80 years. Khaled Shamal, spokesperson for the ministry and director of the General Authority for Irrigation and Reclamation Projects, warned that the situation would force Iraq to significantly reduce its summer agricultural plans. 'At the start of the summer season, we should have at least 18 billion cubic meters of water. Today, we only have about 10 billion,' Shamal said, adding, 'We have not seen reserves this low in 80 years.' Given the ongoing crisis, Iraqi politicians have consistently called for a binding, comprehensive international agreement with Turkey to secure Iraq's fair share of water and ensure long-term sustainability.

Baghdad-Erbil oil talks stall over federal refusal to sign written deal: Source
Also in Iraq Three suspected ISIS members killed in Kirkuk operation Three rockets target Kirkuk Iraq president appoints new Federal Supreme Court chief amid judicial turmoil Turkmen Front supporters block Erbil-Kirkuk highway over Kurdish appointment A+ A- ERBIL, Kurdistan Region - Negotiations between Erbil and Baghdad on resuming Kurdish oil exports have stalled, as the two sides have failed to reach consensus on a formal, written agreement, a source familiar with the talks told Rudaw on Tuesday. Speaking on condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the discussions, the source said, 'The federal government has not agreed to put the agreement in writing and wants it to remain verbal.' In contrast, 'The Kurdistan Regional Government [KRG] insists on a written deal.' According to the same source, Baghdad's reluctance stems from concerns that a formal agreement could be exploited by political rivals of Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia' al-Sudani ahead of Iraq's legislative elections, slated for November 11. Rudaw learned on Tuesday that a KRG delegation, led by Acting Natural Resources Minister Kamal Mohammed, returned to Erbil earlier this week after three days of talks in Baghdad aimed at resolving long-standing oil disputes. On Sunday, informed sources from both Erbil and Baghdad told Rudaw that the talks had been progressing in a 'calmer environment,' breaking past tensions. However, one of the main sticking points remains the volume of oil that the KRG is required to deliver to Iraq's State Oil Marketing Organization (SOMO). While Baghdad insists the KRG must export 400,000 barrels per day (bpd), Erbil has proposed an initial volume of 280,000 bpd, the sources added. Oil exports from the Kurdistan Region via the Iraq-Turkey pipeline have been halted since March 2023. This followed a ruling by a Paris arbitration court that found Turkey had violated a 1973 pipeline agreement by allowing Erbil to export oil independently of Baghdad's consent. Kurdistan Region Prime Minister Masrour Barzani stated last week that the suspension of exports has cost the Region over $25 billion in lost revenue. In February, Iraq's parliament amended the federal budget law to include a $16-per-barrel fee to cover production and transportation costs for international oil companies (IOCs) operating in the Region. The amendment also requires both governments to jointly appoint an international consultancy to audit and assess those costs. If they cannot agree on a firm, the Iraqi cabinet will make the selection. These changes were intended to facilitate the resumption of Kurdish oil exports. A technical delegation from Baghdad visited Erbil last Wednesday to discuss revenue-sharing mechanisms and other unresolved issues. Finalizing an agreement is seen as crucial to resuming payments to more than 1.2 million public sector employees in the Kurdistan Region. In late May, Iraq's finance ministry halted all budget transfers to the KRG, accusing the Region of exceeding its 12.67 percent share of the federal budget - a claim rejected by Kurdish political parties, who denounced the decision as unconstitutional and politically motivated.

Kurdistan parliament to enter summer recess despite political stalemate
Also in Kurdistan Erbil emergency water project enters testing phase Blaze scorches hundreds of dunams in Sulaimani province Explosive drone crashes in Duhok camp housing Yazidis President Barzani, former Iraqi deputy PM discuss Baghdad-Erbil ties, regional developments A+ A- ERBIL, Kurdistan Region - The Kurdistan Region's parliament began its summer recess on Monday without holding regular sessions. The ongoing political deadlock has delayed the formation of a new government. 'Parliament's summer recess begins today, July 1, and will continue for two months,' Rupak Ahmad, a member of the legal committee during the previous parliamentary term, told Rudaw on Tuesday. 'Under normal circumstances, parliamentary sessions should resume on September 1 [and continue] until January 31 of the new year, and then they will go into winter recess again for two months,' she added. Kurdistan Region's long-delayed parliamentary election was held in October but the political parties have yet to reach a final agreement to form a new cabinet. On Wednesday, Prime Minister Masrour Barzani said that the ruling Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) and the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) have agreed on a cabinet agenda, adding that the door remains open for other parties to join. Amid the stalemate, lawmakers have convened only once in December without electing a speaker or deputies. The session ended without significant decisions and was adjourned indefinitely. In May, Omar Gulpi, a lawmaker-elect from the opposition Kurdistan Justice Group (Komal) - who is yet to take the oath of office - filed a lawsuit with Iraq's Federal Supreme Court challenging the legitimacy of the Kurdish parliament. He argued that the legislature's failure to meet regularly invalidates the October election results and called for new elections and the return of benefits granted to lawmakers. In April, the PAY Foundation for Education and Development, a Kurdistan-based NGO that monitors legislative performance, criticized Kurdish lawmakers for collecting salaries despite the parliament not sitting.
