Furthermore, the Iranian government has been accused of manipulating election results and suppressing opposition candidates. This has further eroded public confidence in the legitimacy of the electoral system and has led to widespread protests and demonstrations against the government. The lack of transparency in Iranian elections not only undermines democracy but also contributes to the overall sense of political repression and lack of freedom in the country. Without fair and transparent elections, the Iranian people are unable to fully participate in shaping their own future and holding their government accountable. Ultimately, the lack of transparency in Iranian elections serves to perpetuate the power of the ruling elite and maintain the status quo, preventing meaningful change and progress in Iran.
