Iranians are voting in a run-off for the remaining seats in Parliament after conservative candidates dominated the elections in March.

Iranians are voting in a run-off for the remaining seats in Parliament after conservative candidates dominated the elections in March.

Shortly after polling stations opened on Friday, state TV showed Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei casting his vote

Khamenei, who has the final say in important matters of state, urged people to head to polling stations as voter apathy remains high since the last parliamentary elections in 2020 in an indication of widespread discontent.

The 290-member legislature, however, plays a secondary role in governing the country.

The outcome of todays voting will not affect the final shape of the Parliament, which is controlled predominantly by hardliners.

In March, conservatives won 200 of 245 seats, with more moderate candidates taking the other 45.
