Run-off election for the presidency in Iran
Approximately 61 million citizens were called to vote in the first round, with the voter turnout reaching only 40% - the lowest since the Islamic Revolution in 1979. Prior to the runoff election, the spiritual leader of the Islamic Republic, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, unexpectedly acknowledged the low turnout and urged people to participate in the second round.
In the aftermath of the first round's low turnout, the run-off election for Iran's Presidency became crucial. Among the candidates, Ebrahim Raisi and Said Jalili were the frontrunners, preparing for the second vote.
