Electoral system


The constitution approved in a December 1979 referendum provided for a 270-seat Majlis, with five seats reserved for minority groups including Jews, Zorastrians, Armenians from the north and south of the country and one jointly elected by Assyrians and Chaldeans.[3]


The elections were conducted using a two-round system, with the number of candidates progressing to the second round being double the number of seats available. Candidates required an absolute majority to win a seat in the first round, and plurality to win in the second round.[3]



Campaign


A total of 3,726 candidates contested the elections, including around 326 women.[3] 145 seats were won in the first round of voting.[4]


Main groups contesting in the elections were:[5]



  • Combatant Clergy Association and Islamic Aligned Organizations ('traditional' right-wing)


  • Executives of Construction Party ('modern' right-wing)


  • Association for Defence of Revolution Values ('neocon' right-wing)


  • Association of Combatant Clerics ('traditional' left-wing)


  • Coalition of Imam's Line groups ('radical' left-wing)

15 Freedom Movement members presented themselves as candidates and only 4 of them made it through initial vetting, 3 of whom were excluded before polling day. The organization announced its intention to withdraw from the election. The election was boycotted by the National Front and Nation Party.[6]



Results


Both conservatives and reformers claimed a 70 percent majority after the first round and also claimed independents as supporters.[7]
