Attending a press conference on Saturday, Interior Minister Abdolreza Rahmani Fazli deemed turnout in Iran’s Parliamentary and Assembly of Experts elections very satisfactory, saying “according to the 33 million counted votes, over 60 percent of eligible voters participated in the elections.”
Noting the elections were staged in a peaceful atmosphere in terms of security and politics, he said “we have received no reports on revocation of elections due to the possibility of vote rigging in any polling stations across the country.”
He went on to add that nearly 70 million votes have been cast into ballot boxes for twin elections.
“We have drummed up cooperation with the Guardian Council to ensure an ethical and healthy election; this has slowed down the process but increased its precision,” he said, noting over 70 percent of poll tally has been completed in all constituencies.
