Over the weekend, Iranians voted in the first round of presidential elections despite much voter apathy. That apathy was on display as voter turnout hit a historic low. The vote will now continue into a runoff, however, between the top two candidates - reformist Masoud Pezeshkian and ultraconservative Saeed Jalili - as neither candidate received more than 50% of the vote. Host Marco Werman speaks with Iranian journalist Azadeh Moaveni about voter apathy and the choices Iranians will have to make despite the disillusionment with the system.
