The leader of the Islamic Republic says not voting has no achievement or benefit
Less than 48 hours remain until the start of the elections for the Islamic Consultative Assembly and the Assembly of Experts, and Ali Khamenei, the leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran, has called for citizens’ participation in these elections
Mr. Khamenei said in a speech in Tehran that those who express disinterest in the elections and encourage others not to attend should think a little more, as not voting has no achievement or benefit and does not solve any of the country’s problems
Some media and politicians in Iran say the elections are being held in a cold atmosphere and citizens have no desire to participate
The leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran also said some inside are indifferent to the elections. I do not accuse anyone, but I remind everyone that we must look at the elections from the perspective of national interests, not from partisan and group angles. If the elections are weak, everyone will lose. Anyone who loves Iran, the nation, and its security should know that if the elections are weak, no one benefits, and everyone suffers
The head of Hassan Rouhani’s office, the former president of Iran, has said that based on surveys, the participation rate will be low. The Guardian Council has disqualified Mr. Rouhani from participating in the Assembly of Experts elections
Voting in the two elections for the Islamic Consultative Assembly and the Assembly of Experts in Iran will be on Friday
Iran has announced that it will no longer stamp passports for voting, and for this purpose, a national ID number is required, and voting can also be done with other identity documents
