The eleventh election of the President of Iran is scheduled to be held on Friday, 14 June 2013. If no presidential candidate polls 50 percent of the vote on the first round, a runoff will be held on 21 June. It will elect the seventh President of the Islamic Republic of Iran. Incumbent President, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is limited to two terms under the currentIranian constitution.
The election will take place on the same day as local council elections [1] The Guardian Council, a 12-member body consisting of six jurists and six theologians, is tasked with vetting hopefuls for their qualifications and confirming the election results.
Background
The President of Iran is the country's highest directly elected official, he is the chief of the executive branch, the second most important position after the Supreme Leader. His duties are similar to the heads of governments in other countries. However the Armed Forces, Chief Justice, State Television and other sensitive government organization are under the control of the Supreme Leader and the President does not have much influence over them. It is also an informal costume that cabinet ministers for sensitive departments like foreign relations and intelligence are selected by the Supreme Leader.
All Iranian citizens that have been born in Iran, believe in God and the official Religion of Iran (Islam), have always been loyal to the Constitution, and above 21 years of age are allowed to sign up as candidates. An institution called the Election Monitoring Agency (EMA) which is managed by the Guardian Council vets the registered candidates (in the last elections 36000 people signed up as candidates) and selects a handful of candidates to run in the election. The Guardian Council does not announce publicly the reason for its rejection of particular candidates though the reasons are explained to the candidate themselves.

| Government of Islamic Republic of Iran |
Iran's tenth presidential election was held on 12 June 2009,[2] with incumbent Mahmoud Ahmadinejad running against three challengers. The next morning the Islamic Republic News Agency, Iran's official news agency, announced that with two-thirds of the votes counted, Ahmadinejad had won the election with 62% of the votes cast,[3] and that Mir-Hossein Mousavi had received 34% of the votes cast.[4][5] The European Union,[6] the United Kingdom[7] the United States, and several western countries expressed concern over alleged irregularities during the vote,[6] and many analysts and journalists from the United States, Europe and other western based media voiced doubts about the authenticity of the results.[8][9][10] Meanwhile many OIC member states, as well as Russia, China, India, and Brazil, congratulated Ahmadinejad on his victory.
Mousavi issued a statement saying, "I'm warning that I won't surrender to this charade," and urged his supporters to fight the decision, without committing acts of violence.[8] Protests, in favour of Mousavi and against the alleged fraud, broke out in Tehran. Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei urged the nation to unite behind Ahmadinejad, labeling his victory as a "divine assessment".[11] Mousavi lodged an official appeal against the result to the Guardian Council on 14 June.[12] On 15 June, Khamenei announced there would be an investigation into vote-rigging claims, which would take seven to ten days.[13] On 16 June, the Guardian Council announced it will recount the votes. However, Mousavi stated that 14 million unused ballots were missing, giving a chance to manipulate the results.[14] On 29 June, Iran's electoral board completed the partial recount, and concluded that Ahmadinejad won the election, amidst protest from the opposition.[15]
