— 🇮🇷 The Speaker of Parliament & Presidential candidate of the first round, Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, casted his vote

@Middle_East_Spectator

— 🇮🇷 Voter turnout is noticeably higher than last week. Not a good sign for Jalili.

Turnout, as of 15 minutes ago, stands at around 18%, it stood at only 13% last Friday.

@Middle_East_Spectator

— 🇮🇷 To give some hope to Jalili supporters:

Rural turnout has increased, and Jalili's campaign has been going village to village in order to convince the populace to vote, especially in Kurd / Turk provinces, who overwhelmingly voted for Pezeshkian.

Also, in the past few days, many major Sunni community leaders in Iran have endorsed Saeed Jalili over Masoud Pezeshkian, including in Balochistan.

— 🇮🇷 The election, based on the expected turnout, will be EXTREMELY close.

@Middle_East_Spectator

— 🇮🇷 NEW: As of half an hour ago, voter turnout has already exceeded 40%, which was the total voter turnout last Friday during the first round

@Middle_East_Spectator

Rural turnout is much higher than expected.

Good for Jalili.

Will it be enough? Nobody knows.

— 🇮🇷 NEW: Voter turnout has surpassed 47%, with two hours left of voting – it will likely surpass 50% by midnight, making it higher than in the 2021 Presidential election
