Presidential elections were held in Iran on 14 June 2013. Hassan Rouhani was victorious, elected in the first round of voting with 50.71% of the vote.[1][2] Tehran Mayor Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf finished second with 16.56% of the vote.[3] Nearly 50.5 million Iranians voted, 72.7% of eligible voters.[4]

The Guardian Council, a 12-member body consisting of six jurists and six theologians, was tasked with vetting hopefuls for their qualifications and confirming the election results. After the council's screening process, eight candidates were approved to run for office from the more than 680 candidates who had registered for the election.[5] After the withdrawal of Gholam-Ali Haddad-Adel and Mohammad Reza Aref, the number of candidates was reduced to six: Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, Mohammad Gharazi, Saeed Jalili, Mohsen Rezaee, Hassan Rouhani, and Ali Akbar Velayati. Incumbent President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad did not run for re-election as he was limited to two terms or 8 years in office under the Iranian constitution.

Background

Iran's tenth presidential election was held on 12 June 2009,[6] 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,[7] and that Mir-Hossein Mousavi had received 34% of the votes cast.[8][9] The European Union,[10] the United Kingdom[11] the United States, and several western countries expressed concern over alleged irregularities during the vote,[10] and many analysts and journalists from the United States, Europe and other western based media voiced doubts about the authenticity of the results.[12][13][14] Meanwhile many OIC member states, as well as Russia, China, India, and Brazil, congratulated Ahmadinejad on his victory.

Electoral system

The President of Iran is the country's highest directly elected official, the chief of the executive branch, and the second most important position after the Supreme Leader. Duties are similar to heads of governments in other countries, except that the armed forces, Chief judiciary system, state television, and other key governmental organizations are under the control of the Supreme Leader of Iran. It is also an informal custom that cabinet ministers for sensitive departments like foreign relations and intelligence are selected by the Supreme Leader.

Any male Iranian citizen born in Iran, believing in God and the official religion of Iran (Islam), who has always been loyal to the Constitution and is above 21 years of age is allowed to sign up as a presidential candidate. An institution called the Election Monitoring Agency (EMA) and managed by the Guardian Council vets registered candidates (in the 2009 election 36,000 people signed up as candidates) and selects a handful to run in the election. The Guardian Council does not announce publicly the reason for rejections of particular candidates although those reasons are explained to each candidate.

Electoral law

One of the issues that has been raised in the pre-election debate over electoral reforms, especially regarding enforcement, situations of candidates. Executive of elections under previous law was Ministry of Interior (Government) and there were statements about changing of maintaining law. In addition, the law provided that the candidates must be political men and the meaning of men was not known. The changes began after the protests to the previous election. According to Iranian law, candidates more than 75 years old are eligible to run but their health issues must be checked by the Guardian Council.

The new act of the elections was approved by the parliament on 17 December 2012 and was significated by speaker of the parliament, Ali Larijani to the president for official implementation.[15][16] Some of the changes are explained:

Candidates

Registration for candidates took place from 7 to 11 May 2013.[21][22] Registered candidates' qualifications were then reviewed by the Guardian Council.[23] On 21 May 2013 eight candidates were approved for placement on the ballot. BBC News commented that all eight approved candidates were "considered hardline conservatives," with reformist candidates, notably former president Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, having been barred from standing.[24] In contrast, Lebanon's Daily Star newspaper described attempts by former presidents Rafsanjani and Mohammad Khatami to unite behind one or the other of two "reformist candidates," Hassan Rouhani and Mohammad Reza Aref.[25] Two of the eight, Aref and Gholam-Ali Haddad-Adel, withdrew from the race on 10 and 11 June.[26][27]

1 The first one-hour TV program of Mohammad-Reza Aref was cut after 15 minutes and did not continue.[82][83] Later, the program was completely shown again on Friday, 31 May 2013.[84]
2 Haddad and Aref's programs were not shown because they withdrew.[85]

State limits on the campaign

On 9 June Brigadier General Seyyed Masoud Jazayeri, Deputy Chief of Joint Armed Forces Headquarters and head of the Defense Propaganda Headquarters, "warned" a "few of the candidates" that "...we have warned before that it's better that candidates express their opinions within the framework of presidency's authority, and avoid entering in those issues related to security or the armed forces.” Jazayeri added that the Pasdaran will confront those candidates “who have spread untrue information and painted a black picture [of the regime], after the election.” According to the Campaign for Human Rights in Iran, Jazayeri was "alluding to the two reformist candidates in the race, Mohammad Reza Aref and Hassan Rouhani". (Aref withdrew from the race 11 June)[86]

Also according to the Campaign, "several political activists and campaign workers have been arrested at political rallies, at their work places, and at their homes" since the beginning of June. In addition, "journalists and activists who had been imprisoned after the 2009 elections" and were later released on furlough "have been recalled to prison in the month leading to the election"[86]

In the run-up to the election, the internet was drastically slowed down with poor connectivity and since March virtual private networks have been blocked, resulting in the inability of Iranians to access thousands of foreign websites, as well as Twitter and Facebook.[87]

Opinion polls

The main online polls began after announcement of candidates' final list. The polls are divided into three main groups: field polls, telephone polls and internet polls.

IPOS polls

As one of the few telephone polling systems in Iran, IPOS (Iranian Elections Tracking Polls) institute ran a daily poll system for the election, by claiming that they have the only official poll system in Iranian presidential election.[88][89] The poll is based on the daily phone interviews with a sample size of around 1,000 people per day.[90] The poll also reported that between 60 to 75 percent of the people confirmed they will participate in the presidential election.[91]

On 6 June 2013 Ghalibaf held a strong lead in the poll with the support of 39 percent of decided voters. However, the poll notified that 57 percent of voters are undecided, meaning that the poll result can be changed easily. Rezaee and Jalili had the second and third place with 16.8 and 13.9 percent of decided voters respectively.[90][92]

On 10 June 2013 Ghalibaf still held a lead in the presidential race, but this time with the support of 27.1 percent of decided voters. Ghalibaf votes has started to decrease after the third national TV debate held on 7 June 2013. The percentage of undecided voters decreased to 46.9 percent. Jalili and Rezaee had the second and third place with 16.5 and 16 percent of decided voters respectively. Rouhani's votes started to increase after the third national TV debate reaching from 8.1 to 14.4 percent. After Aref's withdrawal on 11 June 2013 and decreasing the undecided voters percentage, some significant changes in the percentages are expected in the following days.[93][94]

On 12 June 2013 Rouhani made a notable lead in the presidential race, reaching 32.4 percent of decided votes. Ghalibaf voters has continued to decrease to 24.6 percent of decided voters. The percentage of undecided voters decreased to 42.2 percent. Jalili, Rezaee and Velayati had the third to fifth place with a rally small margin of difference.[95][96]

Reactions

Prior to the election, the Foreign Ministry's spokesperson, Abbas Araghchi accused France and the United States of interfering in the electoral process after the two countries' officials criticised the nomination process and the disqualifications.[110] Hours after the announcement of preliminary results, Ali Akbar Velayati and Mohammad Gharazi both conceded their loss in the election and congratulated the president-elect.[111][112] Mohammad Reza Aref, the withdrawing candidate also published via his Twitter account, congratulating the new president and thanked people for voting for the reform movement.[113] Hassan Rouhani, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf and Mohsen Rezaee's campaigns also thanked the nation on their high participation in the election.[114] Tehran Stock Exchange's index also reached more than 46,000 units that was highest since February 2013.[115]
