Polls close in Iran’s snap presidential election to replace deceased Raisi
Iranians voted on Friday in a snap presidential election to replace Ebrahim Raisi, who was killed in a helicopter crash last month. Voting hours were extended twice to enable more voters to cast their ballots as Iranian leaders called for a high turnout amid a legitimacy crisis fuelled by an economic crisis and crackdowns on social freedoms.
