A 12-year old Iranian boy registered for their presidential election, but his application was turned down.
I found his campaign promises amusing:
Mozouni said he would ban computer games and raise wages of male parents so that mothers do not have to work.
Mozouni has also promised to pass a law that lets women have jobs only if [...]
Mathurine, an ex-Muslim, has some advice for ex-Mulsims:

“A powerful bloc of 57 Islamic states is again pushing for the UN to make it a criminal offense to criticise or ‘defame’ Islam,” according to Yahoo News.
Though the 57 nations of the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC), a bloc which also dominates the UN’s Human Rights Council, have been lobbying for the move since [...]
