The eight Iranian presidential candidates during their first live televised debate on Friday, May 31, 2013
The Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB) says it is ready to hold another live television debate among Iranâ„¢s eight presidential candidates if the organizationâ„¢s advertisement commission approves the move.
Managing Director of IRIBâ„¢s Public Relations Taqi Sohrabi said on Saturday that the broadcasting organization is prepared to hold a fourth round of live election debates.
Sohrabi pointed to the requests by the people and presidential candidates for more live televised debates and noted that the decision to hold the fourth round of debates must be approved by the IRIB advertisement commission.
On Friday, Iranian presidential candidates held their third and final scheduled live debate on television, discussing their domestic and foreign policies ahead of the upcoming presidential poll.
The candidates had earlier discussed their economic and socio-cultural policies in two other debates.
On June 14, Iranians will cast their ballots at over 66,000 polling stations across the country in the nationâ„¢s 11th presidential election. Iranian nationals will also be able to vote at 285 polling stations that will be set up in other countries.
