Tehran - Iran's Guardian Council, a top review panel with responsibility for overseeing the June 12 presidential
election, said it had uncovered some irregularities in the polls, finding the number of votes in 50 districts exceeded the number of
voters. These irregularities were much less wide-spread than alleged by the
unsuccessful candidates, as Iran has more than 360 districts. The affected votes could be as high as three
million, but that it wouldn't noticeably affect the outcome of the
election with an estimated 34 million to 36 million cast ballots. The Guardian Council could recount the effected ballots if the
unsuccessful candidates asked for it. It said that voter turnout of above 100% in some cities is a normal phenomenon because there is no legal restriction against people voting in a city or province in which they aren't
registered.
