Minutes of the Election of the Administrative Committee for Iraqi Jews
Based on the order of the Ministry of Justice and after the announcement according to the procedures, I attended at five o'clock in the afternoon
on Sunday, 8/8/1971, with the committee supervising the elections, namely Mr. Naeem Shahrabani, Attorney,
Ibrahim Yusuf Shohet, and Ibrahim Haqqi Khalaschi. The candidates also attended, and their names were recorded on the
announcement board in the Meir Tweig Synagogue. Then the election process began by opening the box designated for the elections in the presence of
all those present. After ensuring it was empty of election papers, the committee began conducting the elections, as the voters came forward
to receive their papers and write down the names of the candidates. At seven-thirty in the evening, when the visits for the purpose of
voting ended, and after those present announced that they had no objection to the election process, the box was opened and the
counting of votes began. After they were counted, it appeared that the number of voters who cast their ballots was (213) two hundred and thirteen, while
214 (two hundred and fourteen) were registered in the election list of those wishing to vote. It appears that this difference occurred as a result of one
voter abstaining from casting his vote after receiving his ballot paper. Therefore, the supervising committee decided to consider the election valid and formal.
After counting the votes, each of the following gentlemen whose names are listed obtained the votes recorded next to their names:
1- Mr. Meer Shaul Basri 209 (two hundred and nine votes)
2- Mr. Dawood Nassim Khalaschi 195 (one hundred and ninety-five votes)
3- Mr. Menashi Shaul Shashoua 190 (one hundred and ninety votes)
4- Mr. Victor Khedhouri Shaker 154 (one hundred and fifty-four votes)
5- Dr. Khedhouri Nassim Khudair 149 (one hundred and forty-nine votes)
Thus, they became original members of the Administrative Committee for Iraqi Jews.
The following gentlemen also won the votes shown next to their names:
1- Mr. Naji Salman Arab (44) votes, Mr. Ezra Shalom Musfi (37) votes, Mr. Khedhouri Moshi Oday (35)
votes, Dr. Ezra Nassim Touzi (26) votes, and Mr. Abdullah Ezra Khazzam (2) two votes. Thus, they became reserve members
of the committee according to the sequence of the votes they obtained. With this, the minutes were closed and signed.
