Iran votes in first parliament election since mass 2022 protests over country's mandatory hijab laws

Iran held its first parliamentary election since the 2022 protests over mandatory hijab laws and the death of Mahsa Amini. The election largely barred reformist politicians.

Authorities have largely barred politicians calling for any change within the country's theocracy, known broadly as reformists, from running in the election — leaving mostly only a broad slate of conservative or hard-line figures.
