- Iranians are voting for a new president - but the first round of the election saw the lowest voter turnout in the country’s history. Will more people turn out on Friday for the final round of the vote, or will this trend continue? And why has turnout been so low?

😂😂Why low vote?? Cause it is a puppet show.😅😅
just like any "democracy" in any country, illusion of choice
thats the same as Usa and any other western country lol😂 i live in the states i dont VOTE at all😂😂😂😂
Just like the United States LOL
Does it really matter? Who will be the president had already been determined before the election.
Same here in the US.
Is it just me or did they not actually explain what the President does in Iran?
He’s a jester. A poster boy for Iranian entertainment. He’s the clown you send to parties to mingle with the guests and spread the good word
Because they had enough of Islamic regime and their so called supreme leader. They want regime changed and freedom
Look out USA same thing maybe for you in November?
Unlike Iran, US president has less power internally due to separation of powers. For the day to day American, it's more important to vote for mayor's and governors as they have a direct impact on the citizen in whichever state they live in.
Same time in France it is common that even less votes than in Iran in this time. How many votes in USA?
Obviously it is the "why bother nothing changes for the better no matter who you vote for" factor at play.
The question is why no one votes in Saudi Arabia , UAE, Qatar. Bahrain, Kuwait , Egypt. …oh I forgot … you are not allowed to vote 😂😂😂
I feel empathy for the people of Iran..I live in Canada and Canadian elections haven't been "Legitimate"...so if elections are not "Legitimate" what is the point of voting?
Why bother when the president has no actual power
No where in the world special elections have large turnout
How a minority can rule a majority?
Like everywhere else on the planet, where a rich minority rules the salaried majority!
UK Australia Europe USA Canada and Indian Minority u are talking about???😂
@@qs9674 😎 True but same same but different
Which minority Iranian majority religion is Shia islam then atheists majority.@@NPCONSULTING247-jy3pz
People don't like to Stand for few hours under sun 🌞 during the Hot 🔥 summer day to vote. The election process must be quicker and easier. My parents are very old & can't wait standing under hit sun ☀️ for any politicians.
Does it really matter 😂😂bwe know who elects them 😂
Do their vote matter ?
Perhaps citizens are gatvol of destruction and war😢
Why some many Arabs states don't have elections, why don't you ask that question.. At least they have elections
Mahdi number 8 ,
Compare to US where a zombie been running them for almost 4 years and no one even knows the id of real ruler or rulers 😁
I'm guessing you do know "...the id of real ruler or rulers", so go on tell us the(ir) name(s). Give us all a good laugh, at you. 🤣
Because it's already done, so why bother, it's not like there is a choice that makes a difference 😁
President doesnt have voice
Oh, It was because of the regime's love for Israel 😂😂😂
Iran best democracy ❤ west should learn democracy from islamic nations like iran Qatar pakistan afghanistan saudi etc
😂😂
Maybe when the year has 13 months instead of 12! 😇
Ohh really 🤔🤔🤔
Do you think Pakistan is Islamic Jamhuria (Republic)

Democracies are boring?

Free elections Iran. Cute
In Italy is pretty normal and nobody care
yeah the same happened last week in iran . specially the youth . they don't even think about elections
Elections are only for old people's ,young guns usually don't care aboutvit
Why in Sheikh and king rulers has absolutely no election campaign
But mullahs regime is the first demicratic system in the west Asia better than Netanyahu democracy
At least they show it to the world And American
i think the republic in iran has some problems but yeah they're just hypocritcs
it wasnt 40%. it was 12 % only
weak hasbara 😂
12% is Thats what your expectations. But the actual cast is more than 40% 😂. You will die but iran Islamic government will rise day by day.
@@LadakhJobsUpdateofficialYes. The Islamic Republic and the “Axis of Resistance” are rising … into their caskets.
@@LadakhJobsUpdateofficialare you okay? The votes did not even reach 40%. 39.9% voted, which 4% were blank
Because the Gayatollah can override the Iranian people's wishes if it wants to
Ure mediation is no more meaningful,,,,kalb al qatar
👍🏼
Say no to Hamas
36% not 40
