Ireland voted on Friday to elect a new president, with left-wing independent Catherine Connolly expected to beat her challenger in an election critics say failed to offer a real choice, hitting turnout.

Conservative figures urged voters to spoil their ballots in protest at the lack of right-wing options in the contest, which pitted Connolly against centrist Fine Gael’s Heather Humphreys.
A slew of celebrities also considered running — including mixed martial arts star Conor McGregor, singer Bob Geldof and dancer Michael Flatley.
The winner will succeed 84-year-old Michael Higgins, who has held the post since 2011.
Polls closed at 10:00 p.m. (2100 GMT), with a result expected late Saturday. More than 3.6 million people were eligible to vote.
