CloseVoting is under way in Iran as the country holds its first elections since the 2022 anti-government protests.

Friday's elections are seen as a crucial test of legitimacy and national support for Iran's leadership - but a low turnout is expected.

Voter apathy remains high following a period of unrest after the death of a young woman detained by morality police for wearing an "improper" hijab.

The BBC's Carrie Davies, who is in Tehran, says concerns over voter numbers raise "questions of legitimacy for the government".
