In a note published on June 5, Dr. Morteza Zamanian, GPTT’s senior advisor elaborated on a suggested reform for the process of qualification of Iranian presidential candidates. He explained that the Guardian Council, which is responsible for the qualification, could not give a clear answer to the question of why some candidates were not qualified. This issue was a source of ambiguity because since the qualification criteria are clearly stated in the Constitution, people expect the Council to be able to answer the question. According to him, the problem arises from the fact that the members of the Council vote for each candidate “at once.” Therefore, it will not be clear which condition each member of the Council exactly had in mind when he disqualified a candidate. As a result, the Council declares that the reason for disqualification is not clear and can only indicate what issues were discussed regarding a particular candidate. It must be acknowledged that this kind of explanation, although may be considered a precise and technical one for legal experts, in a highly political and social issue obviously would not be adequate. He suggested that the solution to this problem is to vote the members of the Guardian Council on each and every criterion listed in the Constitution separately. Therefore, it will be clear which criteria a person is not qualified for. It seems that the constitution does not have any constraint for these criteria to be evaluated one by one in the case of candidates. In this sense, this proposal can be effective in increasing the acceptability of the qualification process and eventually can lead to an increase in voters’ turnout.
