The 2018 Assyrian elections in Iraq will be the first elections since the Islamic State invasion of the Assyrian heartland, the Nineveh Plains on August 2014. A parliamentary election will be held in Iraq on 12 May 2018. Of the 329 seats in the Iraqi parliament, 5 are reserved for the Assyrian minority. The five reserved seats are separated one for each governorate of: Baghdad, Duhok, Erbil, Kirkuk and Nineveh.^[1] At the time of voting, only about 200,000 Assyrians remained in the country.^[2]

Going into the elections, Assyrian Democratic Movement has two seats, Chaldean Syriac Assyrian Popular Council has two seats, and one by the Iraqi Communist Party. A total of seven lists comprising 67 candidates will compete for the reserved seats. At the time of elections, the Assyrian community was "divided and messy".^[3] For the first time in Iraqi history, a Church has officially backed a list, as Chaldean Catholic Patriarch Louis Sako openly urged his followers to vote for the 139 list.^[4]

In mid-May 2018, the Iraqi Higher Elector Commission released the results showing a surprise win for the Babylon Movement.^[5] The results were seen as unexpected by the Assyrian community, as many complained out outright fraud.
