Polls close in Iran's parliamentary elections

(21 Feb 2020) Polls closed in Iran's parliamentary elections on Friday evening. Voting stations were originally scheduled to close at 6pm, but officials extended that by a further five hours to give people more time to cast their ballots. Turnout will be seen as a key measure of support for Iran's leadership after thousands of candidates - mostly reformists - were disqualified from standing. Among them were 90 sitting members of parliament who had wanted to run for re-election. Initial results are expected on Saturday.
