Spokesman for Iran’s Constitutional Council Hadi Tahan Nazif has said that nearly 59,000 polling stations have been set up in more than 95 states for the country’s 14th presidential election, scheduled for Friday.
He made the remarks on Thursday at a press conference in the Iranian capital Tehran, while elaborating on the details of the upcoming election and voting process.
Nazif stressed that following the “painful” death of former President Ebrahim Raisi in a helicopter crash on May 19, the entire preparatory process of the snap election was completed in close to 40 days, which shows the “strength and power” of the country’s Islamic establishment.
