Abstract

This study was conducted after issuing the system of dividing electoral districts No. 52 of 2024 by the executive power (government) in order to hold the elections of 2024 according to it.

The study's idea has been derived from the previous notices related to distributing and dividing electoral districts by the government, where the previous divisions and the current division reveal that the government aims to manipulate the process of determining and dividing districts according to its directions and strategies related to reducing the dominance of opposition votes; this represents a severe violation to the validity of the electoral process and equity between voters and candidates.

Therefore, the study showed- based on statistics- the existence of the violation by the legislative and executive powers while dividing the number of population in districts and the seats specified to them; this shows arbitrariness in distribution and contradicts with the global indicators.

These findings were evident based on the tables and figures included in the study. The study concluded with a number of recommendations in order to have a fair and transparent elections that represent population in a real manner.
