He expressed hope that there will be no election infringement at all and everyone abides by the rules.
"The infringement reports are delivered to us through people and the candidates' competitors and after evaluation, in case their offense is proven, they will be delivered to competent authorities," the Minister concluded.
Iran's parliamentary election campaign officially started across the country on Thursday.
The 11th round of Iran's parliamentary elections and the midterm elections for the Assembly of Experts will be held simultaneously on February 21.
