A preliminary exit poll prepared by the Ipsos research centre has shown liberal pro-EU candidate Rafał Trzaskowski to be ahead by a razor-thin margin in the presidential election’s second round with 50.3% of the vote. His conservative opponent Karol Nawrocki won 49.7% of the vote.

The final result is too close to call at this stage, with a more comprehensive count expected late on Sunday or on Monday morning.

Turnout was 72.8% – higher than the 67.3% reported in the first round on 18 May. Voting started at 7 am and ended at 9 pm.

At a conference at 6:30 pm, the chairman of the Polish National Electoral Commission said incidents had been reported during the voting, with “232 possible offences” taking place.

The exit poll data was collected by the Ipsos research centre on behalf of three television stations: TVP, TVN and Polsat.
