Iran’s presidential election Procedure: Whatever you Need to know

DUBAI: Iran maintains a presidential election Friday viewed as a referendum about the establishment’s management of tensions with the West, regular bouts of political unrest and an economy ravaged by US sanctions.
Even though the president directs the authorities, it’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei with the final say on all state issues, such as atomic and international policies.
A hardliner is predicted to replace Iran’s incoming pragmatist President Hassan Rouhani.
Following are some details of this election and the voting procedure: * two candidates were removed to run for president from Iran’s hardline constitutional watchdog, the Guardian Council, from 592 hopefuls who enrolled to enter the competition.
* The Council, a board of six senior clerics appointed by the supreme leader and six Muslim jurists, vets aspiring candidates in all elections over a wide array of technical and socioeconomic grounds including degree of education, and dedication to Islam, both the ministry as well as also the Islamic Republic’s values.
* The hardline vetting body hasn’t qualified girls to endure, although a few high clerics and individual rights attorneys argue that the constitution doesn’t exclude them.
* All Iranians aged over 18 may vote, meaning over 59.3 million of Iran’s 85 million individuals are entitled to cast ballots.
Decision Polling opens at 7 am (0230 GMT) on June 18 and finishes at midnight (1930 GMT), but may be prolonged.
* All ballots will be counted manually, hence the last outcome might not be declared for three times, but partial results might appear sooner.
* In case a candidate wins 50 percent plus one vote of ballots cast, such as ones that are blank, a run-off around between both candidates will be held on the first Friday following the election result has been announced.
