Country Knowledge Set, Iran:

"All candidates have to be approved by the Guardian Council." [source]

The Guardian Council ... is an appointed and constitutionally mandated 12-member council that wields considerable power and influence in the Islamic Republic of Iran.

The constitution of the Islamic Republic gives the council three mandates:

a) veto power over legislation passed by the parliament (Majlis);

b) supervision of elections; and

c) approving or disqualifying candidates seeking to run in local, parliamentary, presidential, or Assembly of Experts elections.

The Iranian constitution calls for the council to be composed of six Islamic faqihs (experts in Islamic Law), "conscious of the present needs and the issues of the day" to be selected by the Supreme Leader of Iran, and six jurists, "specializing in different areas of law, to be elected by the Majlis (the Iranian Parliament) from among the Muslim jurists nominated by the Chief Justice" (who, in turn, is also appointed by the Supreme Leader). [source]

"The Supreme Leader of Iran is selected by members of the Assembly of Experts to serve a life tenure." [source]

"The Assembly of Experts ... also translated as the Assembly of Experts of the Leadership or as the Council of Experts, is the deliberative body empowered to appoint the Supreme Leader of Iran. All directly elected members must first be vetted by the Guardian Council." [source]

Example News: Iran’s Guardian Council disqualifies most presidential hopefuls

"According to Iranian government estimates, Muslims constitute 99.4 percent of the population...." [source]

I don't believe this figure.

You would think Syria would have a more accurate statistic: 87% are Muslim in Syria [source]

In the 1990s, the United States Christian population was a similar 90% of U.S. adults. This number has dropped to two thirds of U.S. adults. [source]

If the 99.4 percent figure is accurate and the Supreme Leader of Iran is elected through the Muslim Churches of Iran by members of this 99.4 percent population, then Iran is fully democratic.
