Iraqi parliament cancels expat votes for recent elections
[PRESSTV] Iraqi's parliament has predominantly canceled expats' and internally displaced people's votes in the parliamentary elections.

On Monday the Iraqi parliament also called for a manual recount of 10 percent of the general votes over fraud allegations.

The parliament also called for members of the country's election commission to resign.

On Friday, Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi ordered the creation of a high-powered commission to look into the alleged irregularities in the parliamentary elections.

An official statement said a recent cabinet meeting chaired by the premier had named the Iraqi anti-graft chief as the head of the commission.

The statement further suggested that hackers may have manipulated the election results.

There have been complaints about irregularities at some polling stations linked to a new electronic voting system in Iraq.

Iraq's parliamentary elections were held on May 12.
