"Iran's First Post-Protest Election: What to Expect"

Iran holds its first elections since the 2022 anti-government protests, with low turnout expected due to voter apathy following a period of unrest. The elections will select members of parliament and the Assembly of Experts, which oversees the supreme leader. Many Iranians are dissatisfied with the government's repressive measures and lack of political competition, with only 30 reformist candidates approved out of 15,200. The US has criticized the elections as undemocratic and non-transparent, while the current supreme leader has urged voters to participate.
