On July 9 and 10, 2018 at Ashti Hall in Sulaimani, the manual recount of the votes of 188 ballot boxes in Sulaimani province took place. The 188 ballot boxes were a fraction of the 2947 total boxes used in the May 12 Iraqi national elections in Sulaimani.

The process was led by a team of judges from Baghdad, while employees of the independent Iraqi High Electoral Commission (IHEC) in Sulaimani and elsewhere simultaneously recounted the votes.
