The Independent Electoral Complaints Commission’s committee tasked to investigate reports of links between some candidates and illegal armed groups on Tuesday said it has changed its mechanism of identifying candidates with links to illegal armed groups.

IECC spokesman Ali Reza Rouhani said that based on the new mechanism, the IECC will act against those candidates who have complaints lodged against them and that the final decision will be taken in line with a consensus among IECC members.
