Iranians Vote in Parliamentary Elections -- Voice of America
Iranians across the country are choosing a new parliament, in a vote seen as a test between conservatives who support and others who oppose President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
Some 3,400 candidates are vying for seats in the 290-member parliament. Friday's election, which is the first since the disputed 2009 presidential election, is being boycotted by Iran's main opposition and reformists groups.
