Based on the numbers from wikipedia (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iranian_presidential_election%2C_2005)
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad recieved 19% of the vote during the first round of elections (29 million people turned out 62.66% of the population).
And then 61-62% of vote in the second round of elections of roughly 28 million voters (which is around 59.6% of Iranian population).
Which turns out to be about 17 million people voted for him, with a total population of around 47 million people, which is about 36% of the total population.
