Th e Electoral System, Active Electoral Rights and the Role of the Electorate in the Islamic Republic of Iran
Journal Title: Białostockie Studia Prawnicze - Year 2016, Vol 0, Issue 20
Abstract
Th is study examines the constitution of the Islamic Republic of Iran, its electoral system and the active voting rights of Iranian citizens. Th e article illustrates the dichotomy between constitution and reality in which the role of the electorate and the casting of votes at polls, gives the impression of being pointless as all fi nal decisions in the country require approval of the clergy and elected representatives in par- liament are subject to the authority of the Supreme Leader. Th e author analyzes the meaning of the electoral system and the electoral law and studies the phenomena of very high electoral frequency.
