Polling stations across Iran and abroad closed at midnight, marking the end of the voting process in the 2024 presidential elections. Vote counting has commenced to elect a new president, according to the Iranian Ministry of Interior's Election Committee.

As such, the second round of the presidential elections was officially concluded after being extended twice, each time for two hours beyond the initial closing time of 8:00 PM. There was a significant turnout among Iranians exceeding 50%, surpassing the turnout in the first round, according to Al Mayadeen's correspondent.

Therefore, more than 30 million Iranians out of approximately 61 million eligible voters cast their votes, on Friday, at 58,638 polling stations across the country, in addition to polling stations in centers and embassies abroad. IRNA agency confirmed that the second round "witnessed increased Iranian presence at polling stations."

Alireza Mahmoudi, head of the Foreign Ministry's foreign election headquarters, speaking to IRNA, said: "We saw a 20 percent increase in attendance in the second round, which is why two boxes were added at two Spanish agencies and Najaf airport."

Another branch was also added at the US-Canada border, he said, at the Protection of Interests office in Washington.
