Tehran City Council (Persian: انجمن شهر تهران, romanized: anjoman-e šahr-e teḥrān) was the directly elected city council of Tehran and the first such institution to convene in Iran, serving as a model for other city councils in the country.[1] It formalized selection of Mayor of Tehran, designated by the Ministry of Interior. The council had 30 members and 12 committees each with 5 members, with each member able to chair up to two.[1] The members met once per week in an open session attended by the mayor and journalists.[1]
The council suffered from the weakness of democratic accountability, lack of administrational and financial autonomy and limited scope of authority.[3]
The last elections to the council took place in 1976 and it was abolished in 1979 when the Iranian Revolution took place.[4]
