The Independent High Electoral Commission (IHEC) announced on Friday that thousands of campaign posters displayed across Iraq will be recycled after the election. The materials will be repurposed to promote environmental awareness.

the IHEC stated on its official website.
- The initiative aims to support sustainability efforts in Iraq.

- It is part of broader efforts to keep cities clean after campaign season.
