Iranian legislative election, 1975

Iranian legislative election, 1975

The Iranian Parliamentary Elections of 1975 was won mostly by the single party of the monarchy. Communists were banned from running for office.

Candidates

All candidates had to adhere to three basic principles: "faith in Iran's constitution, loyalty to the monarchical regime, and fidelity to the "white revolution." This party, like others before it, lacked a popular base.

The seats available were in the National Consultative Assembly and the Senate.
