1984 Iranian legislative election

Parliamentary elections were held in Iran on 15 April 1984, with a second round on 17 May. The majority of seats were won by independents, whilst the Islamic Republican Party was the only party to win seats. Voter turnout was 65.1% in the first round.

The Freedom Movement of Iran declared that it would boycott the elections after its headquarters was attacked and the authorities refused to permit the party to hold two seminars.

Background
The election was held under conditions of severe sanctions on politic and economical sector as well as war with Iraq's Baathist government (Iran-Iraq War). This election was also first time since the 1979 revolution where only one political party was allowed to participate (as other political parties were banned and even dissolved before this election).

Conduct
The election was held under conditions of war with Iraq's Baathist government (Iran-Iraq War), caused many cities in border with Iraq were severely destroyed (or could not hold direct election). Therefore. this election was conducted with two ways :
 * 1) Direct national election (for areas that were not heavily affected by war and also for religious minorities seats)
 * 2) Indirect national election (for areas that were heavily affected by war -mainly in border with Iraq-)

Out of 193 constituencies, 187 (including 5 electoral districts for religious minorities ) hold direct election while the six others hold indirect elections. These six were :
 * 1) Mehran (Ilam & Mehran constituency) - Ilam Province
 * 2) Dehloran (Dehloran & Darreh Shahr constituency) - Ilam Province
 * 3) Abadeh (Abadeh constituency)  - Fars Province
 * 4) Susangerd (Dasht-e-Azadegan constituency)  - Khuzestan Province
 * 5) Khorramshahr (Khorramshahr constituency)  - Khuzestan Province
 * 6) Qasr-e-Shirin (Qasr-e-Shirin & Sarpol-e-Zahab constituency)  - Kermanshah Province
