NDI, in partnership with The Century Foundation [3], has launched a new publication with analysis and information on the domestic political debate in Iran [4] as the Republic prepares for presidential elections in June.
The unique bi-weekly newsletter, Iran Election Bulletin, comes at a time of increasing international debate on relations with Iran. The Bulletin includes articles and analysis on Iranian domestic and electoral politics and a review of hot topics appearing in the Iranian media. One section, “Voices from Iran,” features articles and first-person accounts written by Iranians, either living in Iran or recently expatriated, who provide a unique perspective on politics and elections.
The first edition [5] sets the pre-election scene as factions jockey for position. Future editions will explore the power centers within Iran, the major political parties, election administration, campaigning and electioneering, voting and public attitudes toward the elections, and issues that are figuring prominently in political rhetoric and public debate.
