Feasible Study of Provincialization of Islamic Consultative Assembly Elections by Presenting a Model of a Proportional Electoral System

Elections today, as one of the pillars of democracy, play an important role in citizen partici- pation and oversight of the performance and decisions of the agents of political systems. In the meantime, the parliamentary elections of each country have a different position accord- ing to the model of the electoral system of that country. In Iran, the parliament has a history of more than a century, but there are still shortcomings in the elections, the role of the exist- ing electoral system (majority), which is in the first election law of the country since 1906 is important. To correct the current shortcomings of the Islamic Consultative Assembly elec- tions and to maintain the importance of the diversity of constituencies in the country, the plan to provincialize the constituencies from the fifth parliament onwards has always been proposed as an alternative to the current system; Which has not been implemented yet for various reasons. This research seeks to use the descriptive-analytical method to evaluate the possibility of replacing the model of the proportional electoral system (in non-single-seat constituencies) with the current system based on the provincial of the Islamic Consultative Assembly elections. In other words, it seeks to answer the question of whether it is possible to replace the current proportional electoral system model (in non-single-seat constituen- cies) with the current majority system based on the provincialization of the Islamic Consul- tative Assembly elections? Our assumption is that among the majority, proportional and hybrid models, the proportional model under provincialization can better meet the needs of today's Iranian society. In this research, data collection is the use of books, articles, and electronic resources.
