Young Iranian Voters Know Their candidates.

Iran is a democracy on the surface. In truth, it is controlled by an Islamic regime. The people elect the president and his parliment, but candidates are selected and approved by the Ayatollah. Also, the people are often uninformed voters due to the lack of information about the presidential and parlimentary candidates which is presented to them by the government. But many young Iranians have found a way around this information gap: facebook. The revolution in Iran took place before most Iranians who know how to operate facebook were born, and they are more likely to encounter a wide range of views through their exposure to the internet. Many democratic nations are hoping that these well-informed voters will realise that their vote doesn't count as much as it could, and will mount some kind of rebellion against the theocratic state. Maybe it'll work. If any change does come to Iran, that should be the way it happens.
