Azerbaijan, Baku, June 14 /Trend S.Isayev, D. Khatinoglu/
Presidential candidate Hassan Rouhani has sent a letter of complaint to the Guardian Council, noting that the name of former presidential candidate Mohammad Reza Aref is still present in the voting bulletin, in some polling stations, KhabarOnline news portal reported.
Mohammad Reza Nematzadeh, head of Hassan Rouhani's electoral campaign said that this issue will lead to confusion among people who are supporters of Aref, and eventually their votes will get discounted.
Other reformists-owned news portal Jaras News reported that Rouhani's official website got blocked in the last hour because the webmasters of the site requested the people who voted for Rouhani to submit them the voting papers.
The 11th presidential elections have officially started today in Iran.
