Role of the Guardian Council

It is the Parliament that makes the headlines with legislation, but no bill passed by the Parliament or Majlis becomes law without going through the Guardian or Constitutional Council.

Less in the spotlight normally, there are times when this council of elders becomes the highlight of the day.

One of those times is elections; be they local, parliamentary, presidential, or Assembly of Experts elections.

What exactly the function of the Guardians of the Constitution is, when it comes to elections, is the focus of our study in this episode.
