Iran's former president Ayatollah Hashemi Rafsanjani, in a meeting with members of the municipal councils said there should be no rush in law changes for municipal council elections, ILNA reported.

"If there is a need for changes in the law, it has to be done without any rush, with relevant preparations and plans, so the result would be useful," Rafsanjani said.

The parliament of Iran one month ago has approved the general changes made in the municipal council elections law.

The law on municipal elections has been included into the constitution, however it has become to be executed only since 1998 with Mohammad Khatami being the country's president at the time.

Unlike other elections in Iran, the guardian council in the country is not involved in the the municipal council elections.
