The President is elected by an absolute majority of votes, and if that this is not achieved, the elections are held a second time on Friday of the following week, with the participation of the two leading candidates. The Presidential term in Iran lasts for 4 years, and the Iranian president can only run for two terms.

A spokesman for the Electoral Commission in Iran said that the authorities expect to announce the results of the presidential elections before Saturday noon, adding that a new method will be adopted this session, which is that "the results of each electoral center will be sent simultaneously to the Ministry of Interior and the Guardian Council, which will contribute to accelerating the collection of votes and the announcement of the result."

Iran entered Thursday midnight election silence.
