Legislative elections were held in Iran on 21 February 2020, four years after the previous legislative election in 2016.[2] Due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Iran, the second round, to elect eleven seats, was postponed until 11 September 2020.[3]
Candidates had to be approved by the Guardian Council, and of the 14,000 applying to run for the Islamic Consultative Assembly legislature, 6,850 were rejected,[4] including 90 current members of the Assembly (who were approved to run in the last election). "Moderates and conservatives" were mostly rejected by the Council and "hardliners" approved (according to Parisa Hefzi);[4] while another observer believed some of the rejected were corrupt and others lacking sufficient loyalty to the regime.[5]
