With more than 80% of results already in, the commission [big joke!] has declared Mahmoud Ahmadinejad the winner.
His main rival, reformist Mir Hossein Mousavi, has also claimed victory, calling the result a "dangerous charade".
Police have sealed off Mr Mousavi's campaign HQ, preventing his supporters from holding a news conference [it was only to be expected, wasn't it?].
Mr Mousavi was hoping to prevent Mr Ahmadinejad from winning more than 50% of the vote, thereby securing a run-off election.
However, the Iranian election commission said Mr Mousavi's share of the votes was only around 32%.
[What a farce!]
