The date was proposed by Iraq's federal court, which deals with government disputes, the office of Iraq's first deputy parliamentary speaker said. An official at Iraq's Independent High Electoral Commission said parliament would need to approve legislation enabling the elections, and a budget, before the polls could take place. "We are of course ready. There is enough time," Hamdiya al-Husseini said. The elections had originally been scheduled for December. Iraq's last elections, which elected new provincial leaders, were held in January, several months behind schedule because of a delay in passing required legislation. The last parliamentary polls were held in 2005 with strong U.S. support, and saw a broad Shi'ite coalition take the most seats. That alliance may not run again, and most parties now say they are studying options for new partnerships. Many groups say they are now more open to cross-sectarian alliances, which could mark a shift away from the largely distinct Shi'ite, Sunni and Kurdish lists of the past. Iraq says it is better prepared to police and organize the elections compared to 2005. Provincial polls in January passed peacefully. The allies of Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki, a Shi'ite, did well in Baghdad and Iraq's Shi'ite south.
