  • Iranians are voting for a new president - but the first round of the election saw the lowest voter turnout in the country’s history. Will more people turn out on Friday for the final round of the vote, or will this trend continue? And why has turnout been so low?

      Unlike Iran, US president has less power internally due to separation of powers. For the day to day American, it's more important to vote for mayor's and governors as they have a direct impact on the citizen in whichever state they live in.
