Why Iranians look dimly on first chance to vote since unrest
Since the recent unrest in Iran, many Iranians are feeling disillusioned with the upcoming chance to vote in the country’s elections. The protests and crackdowns that occurred have left a deep scar on the population, leading to widespread feelings of distrust and apathy towards the political system.
Many Iranians believe that their voices are not truly heard through the ballot box, as the government has a history of manipulating election outcomes in its favor. This lack of transparency has only fueled the skepticism and frustration felt by the Iranian people.
Additionally, the crackdown on dissenters during the recent unrest has further eroded trust in the government and its ability to protect the rights of its citizens. Many Iranians fear that participating in the upcoming elections will only legitimize a system that they see as corrupt and oppressive.
Overall, the mood among Iranians towards the upcoming elections is one of disillusionment and skepticism. While some may still participate in the hope of effecting change from within, many others see little point in casting their vote in a system that they believe is fundamentally flawed.
