In Iran, the spotlight is on the June 14 presidential election. The crucial vote will determine the path the country will be taking for the next four years.
This has to great extent undermined the city and village council elections which are set to be held on the same day as the presidential election.
Since the victory of the Islamic revolution Iranians have gone to the polls three times to vote for the city and village councils. A fourth round was to be held in June 2010 but was postponed for three years according to a decision made by the parliament.
This year 352 thousand hopefuls have registered to compete for 207 thousand seats around the country. Unlike other elections held in Iran, the Guardian Council is not responsible for the vetting process. Instead a parliamentary committee has to decide which of the candidates are qualified to run.
Since the 1979 Islamic revolution, on average one election has been held each year but the fourth round of city and village council elections is different in many ways.
First and foremost it is going be the biggest election ever held in the history of Iran in terms of the number of candidates and the number of seats at stake.
According to law any village with a population of over 100 should have its own council tasked with paving the way for the social, economic, and cultural development of the community that it represents.
In this edition of the show we will be taking a closer look at the preparations made for this round of city and village council elections and the role these councils have played in the development of cities and villages and the services that they provide.

Thailand\'s Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawat says she will dissolve the parliament and hold elections as soon as possible.
Shinawat did not immediately set a date for the polls. The ruling party has confirmed that Yingluck would run in the upcoming elections. Meanwhile, anti-government protesters are still out on the streets. Protest leader Suthep Thaugsuban has reacted to the announcement, saying that the parliament\'s dissolution is not his aim. He\'s also called for the protest campaign to go on. Meanwhile, demonstrators are gathering outside the government house in a \"final showdown\" to topple the prime minister. Violence suddenly ended last week with both sides pausing to celebrate the birthday of the nation\'s king. On Sunday, the main opposition lawmakers resigned from parliament en masse, exacerbating the nation\'s political divide.

[15 June 2012] Egypt rev. continues through elections - English
Egypt's Supreme Constitutional Court has ordered the country's parliament dissolved saying the legislative body's election about 6 months ago was unconstitutional. The Supreme Constitutional Court ruled on Thursday that one-third of the parliamentary seats were "illegitimate." The court also ruled that the parliament-approved political isolation law is unconstitutional, allowing ousted dictator Hosni Mubarak's last premier Ahmad Shafiq to stay in the presidential runoff this weekend.
The Thursday rulings come just two days ahead of a tense presidential runoff between Shafiq and Muslim Brotherhood's candidate Mohammed Morsi. Following the decision, the ruling Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF) declared full legislative authority and said that, by Friday, it will announce a 100-person assembly that will write the country's new constitution.
Press TV has conducted an interview with Waleed el-Haddad, spokesman of Freedom and Justice Party, to hear his opinion on this issue. The video also offers the opinion of an additional guest: Ezzat Abu-Moustafa, chair of the Egyptian, Arab and British Cultural Forum.

The upcoming elections in Iraq\'s Kurdistan Region have provoked a lot of controversy. Claims are now emerging that the September parliamentary polls will be riddled with forgery attempts. Critics allege that Syrian Kurdish refugees have been told to vote in the elections. But ruling MPs say the allegations are merely propaganda.
