Early presidential elections in Iran were held on 28 June and 5 July 2024,^[1] in which reformist candidate Masoud Pezeshkian won the second round with 54.76% of the vote.

Following the death of the then president Ebrahim Raisi in a helicopter crash on 19 May,^[2] early elections were announced. Four candidates contested the first round of the election, in which Masoud Pezeshkian won 44%, Saeed Jalili won 40%, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf won 14% and Mostafa Pourmohammadi won less than 1% of the vote. Pezeshkian was the only reformist candidate on the ballot.^[3] As no candidate won a majority in the first round, a run off vote was held on 5 July between Jalili and Pezeshkian,^[4] which the latter won with 55% of the vote. On 6 July 2024, the Ministry of Interior declared Pezeshkian the winner of the election,^[5] with Jalili conceding defeat shortly thereafter.^[6]

With a 39.93% turnout, the first round of the election saw the lowest participation for a presidential election in the Islamic Republic's history.^[7] The turnout improved in the second round to 49.68%. Pezeshkian will be seated as president after the ballot certification process has been completed. His inauguration should take place in early August.^[8][9]
