Counting begins after polls close in Iran, with initial results expected Saturday
Polls closed shortly after midnight across Iran, following three extensions of voting hours.
Iranian state media says those who were still waiting at the polling stations were allowed to cast their ballots but no one else was be allowed in after that. Counting began immediately, with initial results expected on Saturday, the reports say.
Earlier in the evening, as the weather cooled off a little, more people headed to vote and long lines formed outside polling stations in downtown Tehran and in southern parts of the Iranian capital.
