Head of Iran&#۳۹;s election headquarters said Thursday that as many as ۶۱,۴۵۲,۳۲۱ people are eligible to vote in tomorrow&#۳۹;s snap presidential elections.

Shahcheraghi had previously said that around ۶۰,۰۰۰ polling stations have been set up for Friday&#۳۹;s presidential elections.

He added that equipment and facilities have been dispatched to the country&#۳۹;s provinces and necessary measures have been taken to ensure a smooth voting process.

Meanwhile, the elections headquarters said in a statement released on Thursday evening that the polls open at ۸ o&#۳۹;clock in the morning. The voters will need IDs to be able to cast their votes at the polling stations, the headquarters stressed.

Moreover, the secretary and spokesperson for the Election Headquarters, Mohsen Eslami, elaborated that “a total of ۵۸,۶۴۰ polling stations have been anticipated across the country, of which ۲۴,۵۲۲ are urban stations and ۲۴,۱۱۸ are rural,” during an interview with Iranian state TV.

He further mentioned that ۴۳,۴۲۵ of these stations will be stationary, while ۱۵,۲۱۵ will be mobile, and an additional ۳۴۰ polling stations have been set up across around ۱۰۰ countries for Iranian voters living abroad.

This follows an earlier announcement by the National Election Headquarters that candidate Alireza Zakani has withdrawn from the presidential race, making him the second candidate to withdraw after Amir-Hossein Ghazi-Zadeh Hashemi on ۲۶ June.

The four remaining candidates are Masoud Pezeshkian, Mustafa Pour-Mohammadi, Saeed Jalili, and Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf.

The presidential elections come under extraordinary circumstances following the tragic death of President Ebrahim Raeisi and his entourage in a helicopter crash on May ۱۹. The crash occurred in Iran’s northwestern mountainous region, leaving a significant leadership void.
