    No statutory deadline for IHEC's final results found (Law No. 12 of 2018 as amended by Law No. 4 of 2023 sets 24 hours only for the preliminary results, art. 16). Window from precedent: 2021 final results announced on 30 Nov 2021, day 51 after the 10 Oct 2021 vote (IHEC chair's speech, ihec.iq/16306/2021/12/); expectedBy is day 51 after 11 Nov 2025, the end of 1 Jan 2026 Baghdad time (UTC+3). Observed: IHEC Board of Commissioners decision No. (3) of extraordinary minutes (84) of 17/11/2025, on the memorandum headed '(اعلان النتائج النهائية)': 'الموافقة على اعلان النتائج النهائية لانتخابات مجلس النواب العراقي 2025 (للتصويت العام والخاص والنازحين)', 'وصدر القرار بالاجماع في يوم الاثنين الموافق 17/11/2025' (approval of announcing the final results; issued unanimously on Monday 17/11/2025), day 6. The decision gives only the date, so observedAt is the end of 17 Nov 2025 Baghdad time (23:59:59 +03:00); IHEC posted it at 19:49 local that day, and the final-results PDFs carry creation times of 19:01-19:37 local. These results were open to appeal to the Judicial Electoral Panel and bind only on the Federal Supreme Court's ratification (court-validation). Seat totals per list summed from IHEC's 17 Nov governorate sheets differ by one seat in Nineveh from IHEC's post-ratification list of winners (Final-names-2025.pdf, 15 Dec 2025): نينوى لاهلها (267) 3 seats on 17 Nov, 2 in the December list; الحسم الوطني (269) 2 then 3.
