Poles Begin Voting for a New President in a Pivotal Runoff Election

  • Poles began voting on Sunday, May 25, 2025, in a presidential runoff between pro-EU mayor Rafal Trzaskowski and nationalist Karol Nawrocki.
  • The runoff comes after a closely fought initial round on May 18, marked by deep divisions over relations with the EU, social policies, and questions of national identity.
  • Trzaskowski supports judicial independence, easing abortion restrictions, and future NATO membership for Ukraine, while Nawrocki pursues conservative values and EU skepticism.
  • In the first round, Trzaskowski received slightly more than 31% of the vote, with Nawrocki close behind at nearly 30%, while candidates from the far-right collectively captured over 21%, making overall voter turnout a critical factor for the final outcome.
  • The election outcome will influence Poland’s political direction, EU relations, and social policies, with final results expected Monday after polls close at 9 p.m. Local time.
