Tehran residents voiced their opinions on Wednesday ahead of Iran's snap presidential election on 28 June to choose a successor to Ebrahim Raisi, who died in a helicopter crash in May.
"I will participate in the (presidential) election because I am deciding the future of my country (Iran) and nation," said Zeynab Sadaat, a Tehran resident. "If I don’t vote, even a single vote can change the future (and) someone else becomes the president".
Footage shows election banners hanging in the streets and roads as the presidential elections approach.
"People's trust in these dear ones (candidates) is low because everything that has been said in the last 12 to 16 years has not been realized. I think that people vote relatively less than in previous years," said Babak Kalibak, a Tehran resident.
"Candidates should try not just to make slogans. Their plans should be practicable. They shouldn’t engage people’s emotions. They should offer plans that truly comply with the conditions of our country," said Sajed, a Tehran resident.
"Based on his talks, Mr Pezeshkian (Iranian presidential hopeful) is more favourable and in the headlines," said Azad, a Tehran resident. "Maybe he wants to do something different. However, unfortunately, these different works have been stated a lot but have never been done".
The Guardian Council has authorized six candidates to run in the presidential race while excluding several senior politicians including former president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
The Guardian Council approved the eligibility of six candidates for the presidential race, five of them conservatives - Saeed Jalili, Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf, Mostafa Pourhossein, Amir Hossein Qazizadeh Hashemi and Alireza Zakani - and one reformist, Masoud Pezeshkian.
The council also disqualified several prominent politicians including former President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and former Speaker of Parliament Ali Larijani.
