Sumario:About four decades Iran has been under Islamic ruling, a unique  system of state governing combining both secular society rules and  religious principles. While the contradictions between the clergy and  the republicans’ institutions may remain their internal affair, at the  same time they may become evident. The electoral system is one of  the fundamental principles of the state governing in Iran. The  changes in the ratio of Islamic principles and republicans’ rules  (laying behind the political course), depends on the political forces getting the majority in the state governing bodies following the  elections. Often these changes result in the form of mass protest. Notwithstanding the adjustments to the Iran’s state governance have been made, the system fundamentally has been operating within the scope of principles proclaimed by Imam Khomeini. The research  article studies the Iran’s political system distinctions as well as its  evolution triggered by the situation inside the country and the  external factors, that both act in different directions in respect to the modernization processes.
