• Voters in Iran have headed to the polls to select the members of the country’s 290-seat legislature amid mounting economic hardship.
• While anti-establishment candidates are not expected to win many seats, a low voter turnout in the first polls since 2022 nationwide protests could indicate extensive discontent.
• Iranians also cast ballots to pick the members of the Assembly of Experts, a key body tasked with selecting the country’s supreme leader.
• The 88-member body is exclusively made up of Islamic scholars.
