Iran's presidential election heads to runoff after inconclusive first round

Iran’s presidential election is expected to head to a second round as no candidate secured more than 50% of the vote. A runoff vote is scheduled to take place on July 5 between the candidates with the most votes. One of them is a reformist lawmaker and former health minister, while the other is a hardline security adviser and former nuclear negotiator. The results will be reviewed by the influential Guardian Council before the top two candidates begin campaigning again. Voter turnout was 40%, with 24 million people casting their ballots out of 60 million eligible voters.
