Code of Conduct for the Media during Elections

Independent and pluralistic media is essential to the conduct of democratic elections. A free and fair election is not only about casting a vote in proper conditions, but also about having adequate information about parties, policies, candidates and the election process itself so that voters can make an informed choice. A democratic election with no media freedom would be a contradiction in terms.

      Media Resources
Media in Iraq is regulated by the Communication and Media Commission, a constitutional body established by CPA Order 65. IHEC, in consultation with the CMC, has produced regulations governing the media during the election period which stipulates the role that the CMC, the IHEC and the judiciary play in regulating the media.

Self-regulation is at the heart of media freedom and IHEC has supported the CMC in producing its 2008 Code of Conduct for the Media during Elections. Media wishing accreditation should comply by the CMC Code of Conduct for the Media During Elections.

International media should bring ID and a letter from the media organisation they are representing to the IHEC office in Baghdad.
