The Electoral System Approach to the Limits, Types, and the Sources of Election Expenses with an Emphasis on the General Election Policies

Nowadays, it has been proven that the monetary and financial resources of advertising as well as the expenses of the candidates for their electoral competitions have a positive effect on the election results, since; a widespread advertising coverage has a huge impact on the success of a candidate. The oversight body (Guardian Council), which is responsible for both health and approval of an election, must be aware of the advertising expenses given the circumstances. Therefore, it must have control over the financial and monetary resources of the candidates to ensure that these resources are not provided by unauthorized means such as illegal groups, foreign countries, embezzlement, bribery and government facilities. It is also important to check whether these expenses have affected the real will of the people or not? Of course, achieving such a hypothesis is not simple. Using a descriptive-analytical method, and given this introduction, and in accordance with paragraph (4) of the general election policy, presented by the Supreme Leader, and according to the rules and regulations, this paper states that, there are virtually no specific rules on advertising expenses, and the actions of the oversight body without an executive mechanism will be fruitless.
