TEHRAN -- Guardian Council spokesman Abbas Ali Kadkhodaii said on Monday that the GC will announce its final position on the complaints about the presidential election results on Wednesday.

The GC has received different reports and complaints from three presidential candidates, such as claims that there were delays in the distribution of ballot papers, but the GC has now examined all of the complaints, he added.
The Guardian Council invited candidates Mir-Hossein Mousavi, Mahdi Karroubi, and Mohsen Rezaii to attend a meeting last Saturday to elaborate on their complaints but only Rezaii showed up.
On the complaints about the distribution of ballot papers, Kadkhodaii explained, “It was found that there have been no special problems (in this regard), except one or two cases of a 40-minute delay in provinces such as Yazd and Isfahan.”
Commenting on the complaints that some of the representatives of the candidates were expelled from polling stations, Kadkhodaii stated that the GC determined that they were expelled for interfering in administrative affairs or because they arrived at polling stations too late.
Elsewhere in his remarks, he stated that Rezaii asked the GC to recount some of the ballot boxes in a number of provinces and said, “It was decided that some of the boxes be randomly recounted and if the discrepancy turns out to be significant, we are ready to recount the rest of the boxes. We do not regard ourselves as infallible and we do not conceal anything from the people.”
The GC previously announced that it is ready to randomly recount 10 percent of the votes.
In response to the complaints that the number of votes in some provinces exceeded the number of eligible voters, Kadkhodaii explained that this occurred because there is no law requiring people to vote in their place of residence and people can vote anywhere in the country.
“It was decided that a number inspectors should go to the Statistics Organization (to examine the issue). However, the total of the votes in these constituencies amounts to three million votes, which cannot change the results of the election,” he stated.
The GC spokesman also urged the candidates to pursue their protests through legal channels.
“We are ready to examine the complaints and give convincing answers, provided that they (the candidates) act within the legal framework. There is still time and we are ready to hold a meeting to hear the views of the two candidates (Mousavi and Karroubi).”
