Turnout in Polish presidential election slightly above 2020 level
Almost a quarter of eligible voters had cast their ballots in the run-off for the Polish presidential elections by midday on Sunday, slightly exceeding the figure for the 2020 election, the electoral commission reported.
The commission put turnout at 24.83% at midday. Around 29 million Poles are eligible to vote.
Pre-election polling put Rafał Trzaskowski from Prime Minister Donald Tusk's alliance virtually level with Karol Nawrocki, an independent backed by the conservative nationalist Law and Justice party (PiS) opposition.
Polls close at 9 pm (1900 GMT), with the result to be declared on Monday.
