Jurisprudential Approach to Blank Vote

Voting as a decisive act in elections, regardless of the degree of influence on the order of religious democracy, in all referendums and elections, sometimes takes a deterrent form and is cast white. Legal systems have each chosen an analysis of the identity and effect of the blank vote; But in the Constitutional law order of Iran, blank votes are considered as cast and invalid votes. The main issue of this work is the analysis of blank vote on both sides of the citizen and also the legal confrontation of the ruling electoral system. On the one hand, the identity of the right-holder or abuser of the blank vote determines the legal status of the voter in relation to the election and clarifies his or her duty or right to the political system as well as to the candidates. On the other hand, what identity and effect will the blank vote received by the executors have on the fate of the elections and the political system? According to the library studies and descriptive-analytical approaches, this article, without being caught in the dilemma of right or duty, considers the preservation of the political system and the necessity of consulting the Islamic ruler as a constraint on the right to vote or a basis for disrespecting the blank vote. It also analyzes the nature of blank vote as silence or "La Adri".
