There are many indicators affecting the voting process either in macro and micro levels. So the results of Parliamentary elections and voting process of citizens are simply a biological decision making process of brain activity coordinated by human nature. The functions of brain in voting decision making process plays an important role. How voters reacts to certain phenomena and what impetus they are affected by are the main questions in this stage. The motor system and neural network in the human body dictates the human behavior in all senses. So it is very obvious in the analyses of decision making process one has to ignore concepts such as destiny, horoscope and other metaphysical explanations. In the same token theological explanations on human soul and eternal life on the daily life of mankind are not in the limits of this study.
