A campaign banner torn apart in the capital city of Tehran, Iran.
Department of Social Studies and Research Institute at Tehran University has conducted a poll that resulted in less than 25 percent of the capital’s population saying they will vote in the coming parliamentary election this week.
According to the head of the department Ahmad Naderi, who was quoted by Fars News Agency, 93 percent of those who have been surveyed said they are not happy with the country’s current situation and the government’s performance.
The regime fears a low turnout in the upcoming elections due to the nationwide anti-regime protests last November, which resulted in the death of 1500 civilians.
Mass protests also broke out following Iran’s admission to downing the Ukrainian airliner last month.
