In reports published today, June 19, 2026, a member of the Social Committee in the Iranian Parliament, Ahmad Fatemi, confirmed that the local elections will be held as planned later this year, and specifically before the month of September.
According to آخرین خبر, Fatemi emphasized that the elections will not be postponed and will be conducted in accordance with the directive of the Supreme National Security Council, which mandates their holding within two months of the end of the war. In addition, the parliament member spoke out against rumors claiming that the elections would be postponed or held simultaneously with parliamentary or presidential elections, calling these reports incorrect.
The تهران جدید channel also reported the remarks, quoting Fatemi as saying that one must avoid creating an ambiguous atmosphere surrounding the election date due to personal opinions or the interests of certain parties. The Iranian administration, through its official representatives, seeks to present a unified and certain front regarding the proper management of local government institutions.
