WANA (July 04) – Campaigning for Iran’s 2024 presidential runoff election has officially ended with less than 24 hours until Friday’s crucial vote.

 

The polls will open at 04:30 GMT. Over 61 million people are eligible to cast their ballots in more than 60,000 polling stations across the country.

 

Iranian expats will also be able to vote in over a hundred countries, and people will choose a new president for the next four years.

 

Last Friday’s election headed to a runoff as none of the four candidates garnered enough votes to attain the country’s top executive post.

 

Now, Masauod Pezeshkian and Saeed Jalili are in the race. The two contenders have had a week-long intense campaign rallies and meetings.

 

The election has been organized after the tragic death of President Ebrahim Raeisi in a helicopter crash in May.
