Abstract:
The legal study of different electoral systems and their comparative analysis has always paved the way for optimizing regulations and laws related to elections in the constitutional legal literature of countries. A comparative study of the two electoral systems of the Islamic Republic of Iran and the French Fifth Republic can be very useful in better understanding the strengths and weaknesses of both systems. Given the presence of more or less significant differences regarding the conditions for electors and candidates in the presidential electoral systems of Iran and France, we were prompted to conduct a detailed comparative study of the aforementioned subject within the regulations and laws of the two countries, thereby revealing the strengths and weaknesses of each to some extent. Initially, the conditions of voters in the two electoral systems were studied, and subsequently, the eligibility criteria for presidential candidates were comparatively evaluated. Regarding the conditions of electors, it appears that the Iranian electoral system tends toward increasing the number of participants in elections, likely considering this a factor for the stability and sustainability of the system. In the French legal system, instead of the variable number of participants, the quality of individual participation and the mental and social capacity of the voter are given more attention. In the Iranian electoral system, fulfilling a significant portion of quantitative and qualitative conditions is necessary to establish the eligibility of a presidential candidate, whereas in the French electoral system, the conditions for candidates are quantitative, and qualitative conditions have been avoided.
