Tehran: Voting for Iran's 14th presidential election began at 8 am local time on Friday, following the death of President Ebrahim Raisi in a helicopter crash last month, media reports said.

"We start the elections," for the country's 14th presidential election, Interior Minister Ahmad Vahidi said in a televised address.

Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei cast his ballot at a polling station in Tehran in the first minutes of voting in the snap presidential elections, a Mehr News Agency (MNA) report said.

Iranians are voting for their next president following the tragic helicopter crash of late President Ebrahim Raeisi.

According to MNA reports, Iran's Election Headquarters has established over 58,000 polling stations nationwide. (with Agency inputs)
