Legislative elections in Iran: a closed election played out between conservatives. In 2020, only 42.57% of voters went to the polling stations, according to official figures.
Women, who represent half of the Iranian electorate, only account for 12% of the 15,200 candidates for the legislative elections. The vote is also the first since the vast protest movement that shook the country at the end of 2022 following the death of Mahsa Amini, a young woman arrested for a poorly worn veil.
