Source-derived summary

The members of the first Iraqi Council of Representatives were elected in December 2005 under the newly adopted constitution.

The main functions of the council were to:

Elect the first permanent government of Iraq since the invasion and occupation of Iraq by United States and allied forces in 2003

Discuss amendments to the constitution

Implement various element of the constitution including nominating members of the judiciary, resolving the status of Kirkuk and establishing Regions.

Votes chose between coalition lists, and seats were allocated according to a formula that considered first the proportion of votes received in each governorate and then allocated compensatory national seats to those lists where the governorate seats did not reflect their share of the national vote. Individual members were then nominated by the lists.

Where members of the Council of Representative are appointed to the Council of Ministers or the Presidency Council they have to resign their seat and the coalition list must appoint a replacement member. The same is the case if a member dies, resigns, is disqualified or incapacitated or is deemed to have "committed a crime against the constitution"

Editorial summary

Begin with the source’s own compact description: “List of members of the Council of Representatives of Iraq, 2005–2010” is wikimedia list article. The dossier treats that line as a proposition to test through List, members and Council, not as a finished interpretation.

Editorial reviewA concise reference frame for defining the subject, testing terminology and identifying the institution closest to the evidence. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—2005, 2003, 2007, 2006—that can be checked directly. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. For this dossier, List, members and Council is the immediate research focus.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “wikimedia list article” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 12, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q6814306. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2005, 2003, 2007 and 2006.

Critical limits

The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
