Elections in Iran have long been known for their lack of transparency and fairness. The electoral process in Iran is heavily controlled by the ruling regime, which limits the participation of opposition candidates and suppresses dissenting voices. This lack of transparency has significant implications for the democratic process in Iran and has raised serious doubts about the legitimacy of the country's elections. One of the main reasons for the lack of transparency in Iranian elections is the extensive vetting process carried out by the Guardian Council, a conservative body that has the power to approve or reject candidates running for office.
