Unlike some Middle East nations Iran does hold Parliamentary as well as Presidential elections and, tomorrow, up to 43 million Iranians will be voting to elect representatives to the country's parliament, the Majlis.
Over 4500 candidates representing 30 provinces are competing for almost 300 seats, five seats being reserved for minority religions. It's a mainly conservative field this time because many liberals have been 'disqualified'.
It's being seen by many as a referendum on the popularity of President Ahmadinejad. He must wait until next year to learn his ultimate political 'fate'.
