The Iranian news agency Tasnim has reported that voter turnout in the Iranian presidential election has reached approximately 40% in preliminary results, with expectations pointing towards a second round of voting.

After counting 10,366,410 votes, presidential candidate Saeed Jalili has received 4,266,386 votes, while candidate Massoud Pezeshkian has garnered 4,244,815 votes, according to Iran's Ministry of Interior.

Meanwhile, presidential candidate Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf secured 1,385,083 votes, and candidate Mostafa Pourmohammadi received 80,506 votes.

The Ministry of Interior will announce preliminary election results and participation rates approximately every hour as vote counting continues, with the official result expected to be announced on Saturday.

In related news, Jalili's campaign manager stated on the social media platform X that "the election will go to a second round."

An Al Mayadeen correspondent to Tabriz reported that the Ministry of Interior was just hours away from announcing the election results. According to polls, the election is likely to proceed to a second round.

Similarly, Al Mayadeen's correspondent at the Iranian Ministry of Interior indicated that, with the start of the vote-counting process, expectations are leaning towards a run-off round.

Iranians are currently in the midst of selecting the 9th president of the Islamic Republic of Iran.

This is the 14th presidential election held in the country since the victory of the Islamic Revolution in 1979 and will see the successor of late President martyr Ebrahim Raisi, who tragically passed away in a helicopter crash alongside several other officials on May 19. 

58,640 polling stations were available to voters within the country, as well as 340 polling stations in more than 95 countries around the world. Iranians will get to vote for one of four candidates who are still in the race, including Saeed Jalili, Mostafa Pour Mohammadi, Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf, and Masoud Pezeshkian.
