Parliamentary elections were held in Iran on 15 April 1984, with a second round on 17 May.[2] 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.[3]
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.[4]
