Polish voters began casting their ballots on Sunday for the first round of the presidential election, with Warsaw Mayor Rafal Trzaskowski remaining the favorite.
Polling stations opened at 07:00 local time (05:00 GMT) and will close at 19:00 GMT. An exit poll is expected to be released shortly afterward.
A total of thirteen candidates are running, and the final results will be announced on Monday.
Trzaskowski leads the race with around 30% of voter intentions and could face nationalist historian Karol Nawrocki, who has 25%, in the second round, scheduled for June 1st.
The final outcome of the election will largely depend on the second-round votes of Slawomir Mentzen’s supporters, a far-right candidate who is in third place with approximately 12% of the vote intentions.
