List of Iranian presidential elections

The tenth Iranian presidential election to be held in Iran.^[1] The President of Iran is the highest official elected by direct, popular vote, but does not control foreign policy or the armed forces. Candidates have to be vetted by the Guardian Council, a twelve-member body consisting of six clerics (selected by Iran's Supreme Leader), and six lawyers (proposed by the head of Iran's judicial system and voted in by the Parliament).^[2]

The Guardian Council interprets the term supervision in Article 99 as "approbation supervision" (Persian: نظارت استصوابی‎‎)^[3] which implies the right for acceptance or rejection of elections legality and candidates competency. This interpretation is in contrast with the idea of "notification supervision" (Persian: نظارت استطلاعی‎‎) which does not imply the mentioned approval right.^[4] The "evidentiary supervision" (Persian: نظارت استنادی‎‎), which requires evidences for acceptance or rejection of elections legality and candidates competency, is another interpretation of mentioned article.^[5]^[6]
