The runoff for Poland's presidential election is shaping up to be a nail-biter, with high voter turnout already reported. By midday, over 24.83% of eligible voters had exercised their democratic right, marginally surpassing the voter turnout at the same time during the 2020 second round[1].
A staggering 29 million Poles are entitled to cast their votes in this election. Alas, the incumbent head of state, Andrzej Duda, cannot seek a third term[1].
The political landscape is heated, with two main contenders: the liberal, centrist Rafal Trzaskowski (53), who enjoys the backing of Prime Minister Donald Tusk's camp, and the right-wing conservative Karol Nawrocki (42) hailing from the opposition PiS party[1].
As the clock ticks towards 21:00, it remains to be seen which contender will secure the coveted presidential seat. While initial projections will be available after the polls close, detailed projections similar to those in Germany are rare in Poland. The final results will be announced on Monday[1].
Remember, polls suggest a tight race[1]. So, buckle up for an exciting evening, folks!

The community policy regarding voter participation in Poland's presidential election encourages eligible voters to exercise their democratic right, as evidenced by the high turnout reported. Meanwhile, the race between the liberal, centrist Rafal Trzaskowski and the right-wing conservative Karol Nawrocki in the political arena is reminiscent of a vocational training competition, with each candidate vying for the coveted presidential seat.
