Iran's presidential election is a win-win situation and there is no loser in the Islamic Republic, the secretary of Iran's election committee, Seyed Solat Mortazavi, said on Saturday.

The enemies of Iran are trying to discourage people from taking part in the election, Mortazavi said during a meeting with Iranian governors, the ISNA News Agency reported.

"The enemies are using current problems such as unemployment and economic hardships as bait to influence Iranians and discourage them from voting," he explained.

Mortazavi went on to note that a huge turnout will show Islamic Republic's popularity among the Iranians.

Iran will hold the 11th presidential elections on June 14, 2013.

The voters will choose the successor of the current President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who is not able to participate in the elections for the third term according to the country's constitutional laws.

The president of Iran is elected for a four-year term in the national elections. The Guardian Council has vetted the candidates for qualifications.
