Iranian Green Movement leaders Mir-Hossein Mousavi and Zahra Rahnavard, who have been under house arrest since 2011, boycotted the runoff election and rejected the proposal to vote through a mobile ballot box, Iran International has learned.
Mousavi and Rahnavard had abstained from voting in the first round as well, unlike fellow Green Movement leader Mehdi Karroubi, who voted for Masoud Pezeshkian in both rounds.
Iran’s Interior Ministry has extended voting for two more hours, until 24:00 (local time), to allow late-comers to cast their ballots in the runoff presidential election.
This will be the last time the voting is being extended, according to the Constitution.
