Two major sham elections, planned simultaneously by the Islamic republic regime, turned into another major debacle, as millions of Iranians stayed home or affar from ballot boxes. The Islamist leadership had hoped that some Iranians would fall into the usual good-bad cop game by, or going to the polls to show support of the hardliners, or of the Islamist 'reformers', which in both cases would have been a sign of legitimacy for their corrupt regime.

The Islamic Ministry of Interior had declared that 46.5 million Iranians were eligible to vote and that he was expecting a massive show of popular solidarity with the holly regime.

All calls made by the regime's officials, including the supreme leader, or by those qualified naively, by some simple minds, as 'reformists', were ignored to the point that the number of declared ballot boxes were reduced, and the polling time had to be extended in order to show better scenes to some of the foreign reporters covering the issue.

Thousands of Islamist militiamen, Islamist foreigners residing in Iran, forced governmental employees and even prisoners were mobilized, days before, in order to try to reduce the impact of what was already known as going to be a shameful result.

The Iranians showed once again the total rejection of the regime and their distrust of anyone having, at certain time, mixed with the rejected theocracy.
