Iranian nationals residing in Syria started casting their votes on Friday for Iran’s 14th presidential election just weeks after their former president died in a helicopter crash.
According to Iranian Ambassador to Syria Hossein Akbari, among approximately 12,000
Iranian residents in Syria, over 6,000 are eligible to vote.
Seven polling stations and a mobile ballot box for special circumstances have been established in Syria to accommodate the voters, Akbari told reporters at the Iranian embassy, one of the polling stations in Syria.
