EghtesadOnline: Poland has opened polling stations for voting in the presidential election, Polish television channel TVP Info TV reported on Sunday.

More than 29 million Polish citizens have the right to cast their votes for one of 13 candidates running in the presidential election at 32,000 polling stations across the country.

In Poland, polling stations will close at 9:00 p.m. local time (19:00 GMT), and exit poll results are likely to be follow later. The State Election Commission may announce the final election results within 48 hours after the closure of the polling stations.

In case none of the presidential candidates secure an absolute majority (50%+1 vote) in the presidential election, a second round of the presidential election will be held on June 1.

According to recent public surveys, the leading candidates in the election are Warsaw Mayor Rafal Trzaskowski from ruling party Civic Coalition (KO) and Karol Nawrocki from opposition political party Law and Justice (PiS).

The president of Poland is elected for a five-year term and has the right to be re-elected only once.
