Abstract
In this article, we attempt to examine the issue of political participation and the functions of elections in the Constitution of the Islamic Republic. This article is written in a descriptive and analytical manner and seeks to answer these questions: 1. What are the foundations and status of the political participation of the Iranian people in the Constitution of the Islamic Republic? and 2. What legal steps are foreseen for political participation in the Constitution? The findings of the research showed that the grounds for the extensive participation of the Iranian people in the Islamic Revolution led by Imam Khomeini are reflected in the Constitution, and therefore it can be said that the main goal of the Constitution of the Islamic Republic was to realize the sovereignty of the nation with an emphasis on the religious foundations of political participation. The drafters of the Constitution considered one of the duties of the revolutionary and newly established government of the Islamic Republic to provide for the participation of the public in determining the political, economic, social and cultural destiny, and identified and emphasized the legal methods of political participation of the people in various principles.
