\"Iran<\/p>\n

On March 1, 2024, Iran witnessed its largest state election boycott to date. After several months-long efforts, Ali Khamenei, the Supreme Leader of the regime, and his cohorts had struggled intensely to project a false sense of legitimacy onto the world stage but recent reports and nationwide field surveys unveil that they have encountered a resounding defeat.<\/p>\n

Across 215 cities in 31 provinces, data collected<\/a> from nearly 2,000 polling stations indicates that only 5 million people, constituting a mere 8% of eligible voters, participated in the electoral process. Consequently, the sham elections effectively transformed into a referendum, with the vast majority of Iranians casting negative votes against Khamenei.<\/p>\n

Following months of intimidation, appeals, and admonitions, Khamenei, while casting his ballot in the early hours of March 1, once again resorted to urging and pleas.<\/p>\n

Khamenei urged,<\/a> “Make use of the opportunity as soon as possible and cast your vote in the earliest hours. I recommend that people vote as much as necessary in every constituency, not less. For instance, in Tehran, where there are 30 parliamentary representatives, people should cast their votes for all 30, not less. My final message to the people in these elections is that there is no need for divination when it comes to doing what is right.”<\/p>\n

The Election Headquarters affiliated with the Ministry of Interior also urged eligible voters in announcement number 23<\/a> not to postpone their visit to polling stations until the final hours. In announcement number 24<\/a>, the Headquarters even declared that individuals with photo-less national ID cards could participate in the elections.<\/p>\n
