As Iran\u2019s regime prepares for its upcoming presidential elections to replace Ebrahim Raisi<\/a>, who died in a helicopter crash on May 19, regime officials and candidates are doing everything possible to compel citizens to vote and place their hopes in one of the six candidates. Through television shows, debates, and various publicity stunts, the regime is attempting to convince the populace that voting will solve their problems.<\/p>\n

However, these efforts are not fooling the Iranian people. This early presidential election follows a parliamentary election in February, which saw a mass boycott and a record-low turnout of 8 percent, according to reports by the PMOI<\/a>\u2019s network inside Iran. The people have made it clear that they want regime change, not elections.<\/p>\n
