Turnout in today's presidential election run-off reached 54.91% by 5 p.m., the electoral commission has announced.
That is slightly higher than at the same stage in the 2020 election second round, when it stood at 52.10%. Final turnout by the end of voting in 2020 reached 68.18%
Today's turnout of 24.8% by noon was the highest at that stage of any Polish election - presidential, parliamentary, local or European - in the last decade.
