BUCHAREST: Romanians were voting on Sunday in a tense presidential runoff between a hard-right nationalist and a pro-Western centrist in a high-stakes election rerun that could determine the geopolitical direction of the European Union and NATO member country.
The race pits front-runner George Simion, the 38-year-old leader of the hard-right Alliance for the Unity of Romanians, or AUR, against incumbent Bucharest Mayor Nicusor Dan.
It comes months after the cancellation of the previous election plunged Romania into its worst political crisis in decades.
Polls opened at 7 a.m. local time and were to close at 9 p.m. By noon, more than 4.6 million people—or about 25 percent of eligible voters—had cast ballots, according to official electoral data. Romanians abroad have been able to vote since Friday at specially set-up polling stations, and more than 750,000 have already voted.
