Turnout

edit

The election was noted being held two days after acknowledgement of COVID-19 spread in Iran, as well as for its low turnout, which was the lowest nationwide amidst the lowest national turnout for decades.[1] The turnout was interpreted as a possible sign of apathy and widespread dissatisfaction with the establishment.[1]

Official turnout in the constituency was put at 25.4% by the interior minister Abdolreza Rahmani Fazli, who was quoted by the AP as saying "we believe that the number of votes and the turnout is absolutely acceptable".[1] Ali Motahari, an outgoing MP for the constituency, expressed his regret that only 18% of eligible voters in the city of Tehran had showed up at the polling place, of whom 8% had cast spoilt ballots.[2]
