Iranians Vote on New President a Month After Death of Ebrahim Raisi
Polls have opened in Iran, where voters will select a new president, one month after Ebrahim Raisi died in a helicopter crash. There are four candidates on the ballot, all of them men qualified to run by Iran’s Guardian Council. Some polls suggest voter turnout could be at a record low below 50% with voters still reeling from a violent crackdown on widespread anti-government protests in 2022.
