To allow clients to better reach their target population, VoxNations has divided its Iraq sample into 4 geographic regions.

Besides the Baghdad region, which is only composed of the Baghdad governorate, each of VoxNations’ 4 regions is composed of multiple governorates based on the governorates’ location and ethnic composition. This grouping creates an additional unit of analysis and is helpful when the survey sample size is not large enough to allow for governorate-level analyses and comparisons.

Unless requested otherwise, VoxNations adheres to the following governorate-based geographic breakdown:

1. Baghdad Region

  • Baghdad governorate

2. Center & North West Region

  • Saladin governorate

  • Diyala governorate

  • Nineveh governorate

  • Al-Anbar governorate

  • Kirkuk governorate

3. North East Region

  • Dohuk governorate

  • Erbil governorate

  • Halabja governorate

  • Sulaymaniyah governorate

4. South Region

  • Babil governorate

  • Wasit governorate

  • Karbala governorate

  • Najaf governorate

  • Al-Qadisiyyah governorate

  • Muthanna governorate

  • Dhi Qar governorate

  • Maysan governorate

  • Basra governorate
