The 9th Majlis runoff election officially started across the country at 08:00 local time on Friday.
The overwhelming popular turnout has prompted officials to extend the original voting time.
The runoff elections are being held in 33 constituencies across the country with 130 candidates from different political factions competing for the remaining 65 seats in the 290-member legislative body.
The first round of elections was held on March 2 with around 67 percent of some 48 million eligible voters taking part in the event.
A total of 225 candidates succeeded in securing the required majority of votes to win their way into the Majlis in the first round.
Principlist candidates have already secured a majority in Majlis by wining at least 180 seats in the first round.
