Turnout
It’s 9:00 (Polish time), but there are no results yet in the presidential election. The “electoral silence” has been extended 90 minutes because of delays in one Silesian precinct. Until all the polling places close, no results can appear (not even exit polling).
One figure can be announced: turnout. So far it seems comparatively high: as of 5:00 p.m. 40.51% of the eligible voters had cast ballots. That might not seem good, but during the first round the figure at 5:00 p.m. was only 34.41%. I predicted that high turnout would help Komorowski, but breaking it down by region muddies the picture. Although the voters of Warsaw have been voting at a rate of 44%, the far southeast (PiS territory) is equally strong. So stay tuned…
