Iran: factional rivalries aimed at buying people’s votes

I don’t sell my vote to their vicious politics


In phone calls with a number of Iranians inside the country we came to realize that various factions inside the Iranian regime are planning and engineering different methods of cheating in the February 26th parliament and Assembly of Experts’ elections through numerous methods. According to a Tehran local, regime officials are taking advantage of poor people in order to increase their votes, paying 500,000 rials (around $15) for an ID card to forge votes.  These measures are intensifying as we inch closer to election day and the price of each ID card has even tripled in some cases. Such actions by regime officials have raised major protests by the people.
