Iranian elections are held in Iran

In Iran, a popular vote began, during which the new president of the country will be determined.

The main rival of the current head of state Mahmud Akhmadinejad is called the former Prime Minister, reformist of the world of Hossein Musavi, reports the Air Force.

The former speaker of the Mehlis, a supporter of the reforms Mehdi Carrubi, as well as the former commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Corps, Mokhsen Rezai, who occupies more conservative positions, are also running for the post of President of Iran.

If none of the candidates during today's vote gains a fifty percent majority, a second round will be announced in which two candidates who have received the greatest support for voters will take part.

Analysts expect that during the current elections, women will show significant activity, most of whom, presumably, cast their votes in favor of moderate candidates who promised to give them more civil freedoms.

The election results may have a serious influence of the outcome of voting in regions where ethnic and religious minorities prevail, which traditionally vote for reformists.

Apparently, the poor townspeople and residents of the hinterland will vote for the conservative of Akhmadinejad, while his rivals enjoy wide support from the middle class and the educated urban population.
