Notes and references

Notes

  1. ↑ Despite an increase in Iranian population comparing to previous elections, number of eligible voters decreased. This was due to the fact that voting age was raised from 15 to 18. [8] Ministry of Interior declared that eligible voters are some 43 million people, while according to the official results of 2006 general census done by the ministry's subdivision, "Statistical Center of Iran" (Persian: مرکز آمار ایران), the population of people over 18 years old was millions more, particularly 47,579,013. This led to allegations of 'manipulation'. [9] [10] [11]
  2. ↑ The official voter turnout was declared 64.2% by the Ministry of Interior. Considering the official statistics published by the ministry, observers and analysts say that the numbers are paradoxical and the turnout would be calculated 54.6% or 54.8%. They also dispute number of eligible voters. [14] [15]
