Today, approximately 11 million voters in Portugal are casting their ballots in a run-off election to find a successor to the conservative President Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa. The election takes place under stormy weather conditions and is marked by expectations of defeat for the far-right candidate. According to opinion polls, the leading candidate is Antonio José Seguro from the center-left Socialist Party, who garnered 31% of the votes in the initial round held three weeks ago, although he did not achieve the necessary absolute majority. In the second round, Seguro faces André Ventura, a right-wing populist who is expected to receive around 34% of the vote, which indicates a likely loss. Though the President of Portugal lacks executive powers, he holds significant authority, including the ability to veto legislation, dissolve parliament, call for early elections, and dismiss the Prime Minister. The implications of this election extend beyond individual candidates, as the outcome could influence the political landscape ahead and impact legislative actions in the legislature. Polling stations are scheduled to close at 7 PM GMT, with the exception of the Azores Islands, where voting is extended by an hour. Voter turnout is anticipated to decline compared to previous elections, which raises questions about public engagement and the potential implications for Portugal's political future.
