Iran Press/Iran news: In response to the Iran Press question on the Guardian Council's opinion to amend the presidential election law which is being considered and approved by the parliament, Abbas-Ali Kadkhodaie highlighted that until the ratification of the Guardian Council is not received, no comment can be made and any comment without approval is considered personal.
Amending the law is a measure that the Islamic Consultative Assembly has taken, but it is not yet possible to predict, he stressed.
Responding to Iran Press second question on "If the COVID-19 outbreak would be acute until the presidential election, are new voting methods will be implemented, Kadkhodaie stated that if you mean vote by mail ballots, the law does not allow to do so, but we give our advice and comments to the parliament and the Ministry of Interior.
Working groups have been formed between the Ministry of Interior and the Guardian Council, and if there is no need to amend the law, we will increase the number of polling stations, yet presidential election voting will be electronic.
While congratulating Nurse Day, the Guardian Council spokesman underlined that the nurses and medical staff carried out their duties perfectly amid the coronavirus outbreak and even some of them lost their lives while combating the disease and saving people's lives.
Condemning Martyr Mohsen Fakhrizadeh's assassination by terrorists, the Guardian Council Spokesman noted that the enemies cannot bear the Islamic Republic of Iran's scientific progress.
During his speech, Kadkhodiae discussed objections and approvals of plans such as the vacant houses taxes, the transport cooperation agreement between the Caspian Sea littoral states, and the law guaranteeing the purchase of agricultural products.
