ShanghaiEye魔都眼 Voting for Iran's 12th parliament and sixth Assembly of Experts ended at 12:00 a.m. Saturday local time after 16 straight hours.
It’s Iran’s first parliamentary election since mass 2022 protests over mandatory hijab laws following the death of Mahsa Amini.
The voters have elected the 290 lawmakers who will make up the parliament for the next four years.
They have also been cast for 88 clerics who will each take a seat for eight years at the Assembly of Experts, which is tasked with selecting the country’s supreme leader.
Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was the first to cast his vote in the election.
Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi cast his ballot at 9:55 a.m. local time at the Interior Ministry's building.
A total of 61.17 million people, comprising 30.94 million men and 30.22 million women, were eligible to vote in the two elections.
Officials claimed the nationwide turnout was a record low of 40.6%.
The turnout in the previous elections for the Iranian parliament, which was held in 2020, stood at 42 percent.
