2006 Iranian City and Village Islamic Councils elections
Every city and village in the country elected representatives. Iran's 46.5 million eligible voters elected about 233,000 candidates for more than 113,000 city and rural council posts.[4]
In Isfahan, Ahmadinejad's supporters won 3 out of 11 seats
In Tabriz, Ahmadinejad's supporters won 4 out of 16 seats
In Qom, Ahmadinejad's supporters won 3 out of 9 seats
In Shiraz, Ahmadinejad's supporters won 1 out of 11 seats

Safdar Hosseini, the provincial campaign coordinator for the Reformists Coalition, claimed that the reformists had won most of the 1,524 seats for municipal councils in 265 cities and that most of the independents have "reformist leanings".[6] According to him, the results were as follows:
The reformist candidates protested Ministry of Interior delays in announcing provisional results, and its failure to announce provisional results for two days after the end of the election. This contravened normal practice, where results were announced gradually as vote counting was under way. The candidates also claimed fraud in counting the votes, mentioning lost vote boxes[7] and newly found boxes that reported zero votes for the reformist candidates.[8]
