No. First, there are severe restrictions on which people and which views are permitted to run for elected office that are set by the unelected Supreme Council of Ayatollahs. Second, there are numerous instances of vote-rigging. For example, in the 2009 election, the official results held that Azeris had voted 70% for Ahmadinejad, which is ridiculous when you realize that their sympathies as a community were for Mousavi both for his politics and because of his Azeri ethnicity. (To put this into context, it would be as ridiculous as a US election result in 2008 that 70% of Blacks voted for McCain instead of Obama.)
