Irans High Supervisory Board of Elections has approved the qualifications of 312 city and rural council hopefuls in Tehran who were initially rejected.
The board said Saturday that more than 4,500 hopefuls have signed up for the council election in Tehran Province, while only 283 of them were not approved to run in the race.

According to the body, candidates will start campaigning from June 6. The final list of candidates will be released on June 3.

The 4th city and rural council elections are scheduled to be held on June 14, concurrent with Irans 11th presidential poll.

The city and village Islamic councils are local establishments that are elected by public vote in all cities and villages across the country. Council members in each city or village are elected for a four-year term.

The councils are tasked with helping the Islamic Republics social, economic, cultural and educational advancement by encouraging public cooperation.
