According to estimates and reports by the PMOI\u2019s network inside Iran, around 88% of eligible voters refrained from casting their ballots. Many of the people who did vote were forced to do so by the regime through threats and incentives. Many of the voters cast invalid ballots.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">On July 5, as the regime opened the polling stations for the second round of the election, it resorted to desperate tactics to rally its diminishing base to create the impression of a high voter turnout.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/english.mojahedin.org\/news\/live-report-irans-sham-runoff-presidential-election-met-with-boycott-again\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #222222; font-family: Verdana, BlinkMacSystemFont, -apple-system, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Open Sans', 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-weight: bold; text-align: justify;\">UPDATE: 8:30 AM CEST<\/span><\/h3>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">The True Face of Iran<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-321267 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Free-Iran-Rally-Berlin-2024-300x170.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"170\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Free-Iran-Rally-Berlin-2024-300x170.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Free-Iran-Rally-Berlin-2024-768x435.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Free-Iran-Rally-Berlin-2024-742x420.jpg 742w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Free-Iran-Rally-Berlin-2024-150x85.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Free-Iran-Rally-Berlin-2024-696x394.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Free-Iran-Rally-Berlin-2024.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">On June 29, 2024,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/iran-resistance\/live-report-free-iran-2024-world-summit-onward-to-a-democratic-republic\/\">the World Summit for a Free Iran<\/a>\u00a0was held in Paris, presenting the necessary policies for dealing with the clerical regime, with the presence of dozens of political and cultural figures from various countries around the world.

This was reported as a disastrously low turnout with many newspapers stating that it was \u201cthe lowest turnout in a presidential election since the 1979 revolution\u201d. In fact, information from opposition sources inside Iran, who closely monitored thousands of polling stations, claim the real turnout was nearer 12%, meaning that 88% of voters boycotted the election, representing a complete rejection of the ruling theocracy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a style=\"text-decoration-line: underline; text-align: justify;\" href=\"https:\/\/townhall.com\/columnists\/struanstevenson\/2024\/07\/05\/the-people-of-iran-are-the-losers-in-the-presidential-election-sham-n2641403\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"flex-1 overflow-hidden\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<div class=\"h-full\">\n<div class=\"react-scroll-to-bottom--css-ghwdi-79elbk h-full\">\n<div class=\"react-scroll-to-bottom--css-ghwdi-1n7m0yu\">\n<div class=\"flex flex-col text-sm md:pb-9\">\n<div class=\"w-full text-token-text-primary\" dir=\"auto\" data-testid=\"conversation-turn-79\" data-scroll-anchor=\"true\">\n<div class=\"py-2 juice:py-[18px] px-3 text-base md:px-4 m-auto md:px-5 lg:px-1 xl:px-5\">\n<div class=\"mx-auto flex flex-1 gap-3 text-base juice:gap-4 juice:md:gap-5 juice:lg:gap-6 md:max-w-3xl lg:max-w-[40rem] xl:max-w-[48rem]\">\n<div class=\"group\/conversation-turn relative flex w-full min-w-0 flex-col agent-turn\">\n<div class=\"flex-col gap-1 md:gap-3\">\n<div class=\"flex flex-grow flex-col max-w-full\">\n<div class=\"min-h-[20px] text-message flex flex-col items-start whitespace-pre-wrap break-words [.text-message+&amp;]:mt-5 juice:w-full juice:items-end overflow-x-auto gap-2\" dir=\"auto\" data-message-author-role=\"assistant\" data-message-id=\"021343c5-849d-41db-b2d5-31bb8cd41642\">\n<div class=\"flex w-full flex-col gap-1 juice:empty:hidden juice:first:pt-[3px]\">\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Also, read <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/iran-news-in-brief-news\/iran-news-in-brief-july-4-2024\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Iran News in Brief \u2013 July 4<\/a><\/strong><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/iran-news-in-brief-news\/iran-news-in-brief-july-4-2024\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">, 2024<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>THIS PAGE WILL BE UPDATED WITH THE LATEST NEWS UPDATE: 9:30 PM CEST Iranian Dissident Leader Sees Troubled Regime Entering &lsquo;Its Final Stages&rsquo; Maryam Rajavi, president-elect of the National Council [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":18,"featured_media":321373,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[234],"tags":[277],"class_list":["post-321498","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-iran-news-in-brief-news","tag-iran-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
