The possibility of engaging in and participating in political activities is recognized as a fundamental right within the framework of political rights for citizens in the Constitution. However, there are exceptions to the right to engage in these activities when a person is employed by an executive agency or body. This article uses a descriptive-analytical method and uses documents and library resources to analyze the legal rules governing the political activity of employees of executive bodies and how to exercise their political rights. It seeks to answer the question of what is the scope of political activity of executive staff in the Iranian legal system. Studies show that the scope of restrictions or prohibitions varies depending on the rank of staffs and the organization they work for, and its scope ranges from restrictions on activities during office hours to absolute prohibitions even outside office hours. The laws in Iran are scattered in this regard, and specifying permitted political activities in the laws in order to prevent illegal restrictions on the right of individuals to engage in political activity is an issue that has not been addressed by the legislator in Iran. It is not possible to enumerate the scope of restrictions without interpreting the relevant laws side by side and considering their generality and specificity.
