BAGHDAD: A manual recount of votes in Iraq’s May national election will begin next week, parliament speaker Salim Al-Jabouri said on Thursday.
The outgoing parliament this month passed a law mandating a nationwide manual recount of votes, but the panel of judges now in charge of the recount said it would only be conducted for problematic ballots.
