Overall vote counting is slower than other elections, high turnout and longer voting hours are named as reasons. Guardian council also slow.

A source at the ministry says only 1.3 million of the votes 'confirmed' by the Guardian Council, as part of a separate check.

What matters now: the vote counts coming in from the provinces, in the coming hours. It is hard to have an overview of the whole country.

Final landmark. I'm on my way to the office, cat & food. Might go to the interior ministry later on, where the results will be coming in. pic.twitter.com/0poYQqlUtc
