Iranian voters queued along the road outside the consulate in Kensington, London on Friday to choose a new president despite a limited choice of one relative moderate and five hardline conservatives.
Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei urged Iranians to participate in force in the vote, damning US officials who criticised the fairness of the election.
But some of the voters said they were still doubtful about voting after the experience of 2009 when reformist leaders said the election was stolen from them to return President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to office. The government denied rigging the count.
With no independent, reliable opinion polls in Iran it is hard to gauge which way the ballot will go, let alone the extent to which Khamenei, the Revolutionary Guards and the Islamic Basij militia will exert their powerful influence over the vote.
