STORYLINE:
Presidential candidate and former Revolutionary Guard commander Mohsen Rezaei cast his vote in Iran's election on Friday.
The country is voting on whether to keep President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in power for four more years.
The boisterous election campaign, which lasted less than a month, electrified many voters here and reshaped how the world sees Iran's political process.
The mass street demonstrations, polished campaign slogans and televised debates more closely resembled Western elections than the scripted campaigns in most other Middle Eastern countries.
Rezaei currently is secretary of the Expediency Council and teaches economics at Imam Hossein University.
The 55-year-old is among six Iranians and one Lebanese wanted by Interpol in connection with a 1994 bombing of a Jewish cultural centre in Buenos Aires, Argentina, which killed 85 people.
There are four candidates in the race including Ahmadinejad, his main reformist challenger, Mir Hossein Mousavi, and former parliament speaker Mahdi Karroubi.
In the increasingly tight race, their level of support could play a swing role - Rezaei expected to draw conservative voters and Karroubi pulling in moderates.
