Abstract
Legislative councils around the world have settled on the use of electronic voting within parliament, to ensure the secrecy of voting and to ensure the freedom of a member of the legislative council to vote with whatever opinions he wants without being affected or falling under any political pressure from the party to which he belongs in the event that secrecy of voting is approved. It also enables During electronic voting at other times, knowing the directions of the general parliamentary blocs regarding the decisions and draft laws presented in the Legislative Council, in the event that public electronic voting is approved. But the matter is different in the Iraqi Council of Representatives, the federal legislative authority, as this council still resorts to the method of public manual voting by raising Hands in all cases of voting on decisions and laws within the dome of Parliament, as the bylaws of this Council do not stipulate the use of electronic voting. Rather, Article (36/First) of the bylaws of the Council specifies the tasks of the rapporteurs of the House of Representatives to monitor the process of counting and sorting the votes after the vote. This text clearly indicates, albeit implicitly, the use of public manual voting
