Polls open in Poland’s presidential runoff

Polls opened at 7 am local time and will close at 9 pm, according to the country's National Electoral Commission.

The runoff was triggered after neither candidate secured more than 50% in the first round on May 18, which saw a turnout of 67.31%.

Trzaskowski, 53, narrowly led the first round with 31.36% of the vote, followed closely by Nawrocki, 42, who garnered 29.54% of support.

The outcome of this election is expected to have significant implications for Poland's political direction and its relationship with the European Union.
