Portugal was voting in a presidential runoff poll on Sunday to choose between leftist Antonio Jose Seguro and far-right contender Andre Ventura, with surveys pointing to a landslide win for Seguro.
A succession of storms in recent days brought heavy downpours and strong gales, forcing three municipal councils in southern and central Portugal to postpone voting by a week, affecting some 37,000 registered voters, or 0.3% of the total.
Partial official results will still be released on Sunday night as usual, starting from 8 p.m. (2000 GMT).
Voters flocked to polling stations on Sunday as rain and wind eased, although numbers were smaller than in the first round, which saw 11 candidates attracting the highest voter participation in 15 years.
Recent surveys pointed to Seguro getting well in excess of 50% of the vote, about double Ventura’s share. Seguro received backing from prominent conservatives after the first round.
