ERBIL, Kurdistan Region – Amid fears of fraud in the May 12 parliamentary elections, Iraq’s electoral commission is assuring that switch to electronic voting and tallying of votes leave no room for fraud. 

"These devices, in the shortest amount of time, no more than two hours, and with a margin of error of zero percent, will reveal the election results," the commission revealed during a demonstration of the electronic ID and ballot readers on Monday. 

This is the first time Iraq is using electronic vote counting and politicians are urging people to get and vote, arguing the new system should ally fears of fraud. 
 
According to the commission, Iraq has purchased 59,800 electronic devices from a Korean company for $100 million.
