Parliamentary elections were held in Iran on 17 September 1963.[1] The result was a victory for the New Iran Party, which won 140 of the 200 seats. Voter turnout was 91.7%.[1]
Before the elections, opposition figures such as the National Front and the Freedom Movement activists were jailed and no genuine opposition candidates were permitted in the elections.[2] The National Front had requested Prime Minister Asadollah Alam to hold the elections free, but the request was rebuffed.[3] The elections were "rigged and far from a legitimate process".[4]
