We can think about changing the law and holding absentee elections

Referring to holding electronic elections in 4 voting districts, the Minister of Communications and Information Technology said: We are one step closer to fully electronic elections and we can think about holding absentee elections by changing the law

According to Iran digital economy annotation, Eisa Zarepour said today (March 6) on the sidelines of the government meeting about the holding of the elections: On the voting day, we had more than 20 sabotage attempts so that the communication network would suffer a crisis, but it was discovered and dealt with before it happened. We even had a case where one and a half meters was dug to reach the optical fiber cable, but it was discovered and neutralized.

According to him, 99% of voting inquiries were done online and more than 85% of voters used national cards.

Zarepour also said about the Pars 1 satellite that was launched into space on Thursday last week: Pars 1 was the twelfth satellite launch in the 13th government, which was carried out in Russia with the Soyuz 2 launcher and was placed in the Sun-synchronous orbit. This satellite is the most complex satellite we have ever sent into space. Until now, about a week has passed since the launch of this satellite, the signals we have received are good and we hope to receive the first images from this 100% indigenous satellite in the next month or two.

Referring to the opening of the aerospace exhibition today, he said: This year, we signed the largest contract in the history of the country with the private sector for the construction of satellites. Today, we will open an aerospace exhibition in the special economic zone, and a science and technology park with the theme of aerospace will be launched in this area, and we will sign a memorandum of understanding with the vice president of science and technology.
