The Iranian regime has lost its legitimacy

November 11

In the second round of elections to the Iranian parliament, only 5 percent of eligible voters participated.
According to official statistics, 5 percent of the population of Zanjan and Kermanshah participated in the second round of parliamentary elections in Iran on Friday, November 11.

Out of 450,000 eligible voters in Zanjan and Tarim, only 23,122 took part in the elections.

This means about 5 percent turnout in the Zangan and Tarim constituencies for the second round of parliamentary elections in Iran.

In Kermanshah, out of 900,000 eligible voters, only 46,000 took part in the election process. It should be noted that in order for any election to be considered legal, at least 50 percent of those eligible to vote must vote. If this figure drops to 30 percent, those elections lose their legitimacy.

At the international level, this issue can cause serious domestic and international political difficulties for any regime.

The Iranian regime, in fact, as a legal regime, is not legal under international law because it does not fully guarantee its human rights and violates the rights of the citizens of the Islamic Republic.

In other words, even if the people participate in the elections by more than 50 percent, the Iranian regime still lacks democratic legitimacy.

What the Iranian regime fears and fears is that it may lose legitimacy among the people and internationally. Therefore, he urges the Iranian people to go to the polls under various pretexts, threats, promises and other fraudulent means. However, if the election is illegal, the UN can take action.

It should be noted that the participation of the people in various elections in Iran, including the second round of parliamentary elections, is declining over time.
