He noted that 30 ballot boxes will be located in various US cities, 19 in the UAE and 12 in Britain, Mehr reported.

Qashqavi also referred to the huge number of Iranians living in Canada, and regretted that negotiations on holding the election in Canada have yet to bear any fruits due to lack of diplomatic ties with the North American country.
