In this photo released by an official website of the office of the Iranian supreme leader, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei speaks during a meeting in Tehran, Iran, Sunday, Feb. 23, 2020. Officials in Iran haven't announced the full results from parliamentary elections two days ago, but on Sunday the country's supreme leader accused enemy "propaganda" of trying to disuade people from voting by amplifying the threat of the coronavirus.
The elections took place under the threat of the coronavirus that originated in China. Iran reported its first cases and deaths of the virus two days before the national polls, and many voters wore face masks as they cast their ballots.in Iran and infected 43 people across five cities, including Tehran.
President Hassan Rouhani had criticized the disqualification of so many moderates by the conservative Guardian Council, which is presided over by Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. Rouhani said the disqualification was akin to customers being told they have options but being offered just one brand at a store. Still, in the days leading up to the election, he joined the chorus of official voices urging people to vote.
Nearly 58 million Iranians, out of a population of more than 80 million, are eligible to vote. More than 24 million voted. Almost half, or 48%, were women.
This is what voter fraud really looks like, the people have no say, and there life in danger if they speak out. , and you make this seem like a legit election.
Sounds familiar and sad.
Didn't you publish a few days ago that the expected turnout will be the highest ever on recorded history since Iranians were angry at Soleimani death?! fakeNews
When you know the system is rigged, people just tend to give up. What’s the voter turnout in the USA again?
LOL less than 60 percent of Americans turn out for even Presidential elections. But that's somehow OK and we should ridicule Iran instead.
- It's not more than 20%, there are enough Videos that shows how regime forced soldiers, employees and students to vote. And enough videos of buying votes and cheating. PS752 IranProtests CoronaVirusIran Another tragedy is going to happen in iran.
Like their vote matters?
The Iranian people boycotted an illegitimate election held by the brutal and hated Mullahs. Good for them. FreeIran2020
How did Bernie do?
If you ban many of the candidates from standing you can't be surprised if people don't turn up to vote.
