The run-off follows a June 28 ballot between moderate Masoud Pezeshkian and hardline Saeed Jalili
DUBAI – Iranians will vote in a run-off presidential election on Friday amid voter apathy and heightened regional tensions.
Polls open at 8 am local time and close at 6 pm , but are usually extended until as late as midnight. The final result will be announced on Saturday, although initial figures may come out sooner. Voter turnout has plunged over the past four years, which critics say shows support for the system has eroded amid growing public discontent over economic hardship and curbs on political and social freedoms.
The next president is not expected to produce any major policy shift on Iran's nuclear programme or change in support for militia groups across the Middle East, but he runs the government day-to-day and can influence the tone of Iran's foreign and domestic policy.
