The heads of the Iranian authorities cast their ballots in the Iranian presidential elections and called on the citizens to heavily participate in the 13th presidential election.
Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said that "the people of the country should turn a blind eye to past mistakes and attend the polls," expressing his keenness that "the people's votes follow the right path and for them to reach their goal."
Rouhani wished that "the elections will be conducted properly and the results will make people happy," addressing the citizens by saying: "Do not invite a vote to change its place or go to another place, I know that you are considering this matter and I confirm its consideration."
Rouhani stated Thursday that many of his country's enemies, "and those against us around the world, want the polls to be empty tomorrow, so we must not allow their dreams to come true."
