US EditionPoland Begins Voting in 1st Round of Presidential Election
- Poles began voting on Sunday, May 18, 2025, in a presidential election featuring 13 candidates across the country.
- The election follows the 2023 rise to power of Donald Tusk's centrist coalition, whose reforms were repeatedly vetoed by nationalist President Andrzej Duda.
- Leading candidates are the pro-European Union Warsaw mayor Rafal Trzaskowski, who opinion polls forecast will receive about 30 percent of the vote, and nationalist historian Karol Nawrocki, supported by PiS and polling near 25 percent; both are projected to advance to the runoff scheduled for June 1.
- The campaign centers on Poland's EU and US ties, abortion and LGBTQ rights, and foreign policy amid the ongoing Ukraine war, with polls closing at 9:00 pm and results expected Monday.
- A Trzaskowski victory could unblock stalled reforms and fulfill coalition pledges, while Nawrocki's win might paralyze government and boost populists, influencing Poland's role in Europe and NATO.
