The first round of early elections, forced by President Lech Kaczynski's death in the April air crash in western Russia, was held on June 20. It was narrowly won by acting president Bronislaw Komorowski (41.54%), a pro-EU, moderate member of the governing Civic Platform party.

His main opponent Jaroslaw Kaczynski, an ex-prime minister who now leads the conservative Law and Justice party, was second with 36.46% of the vote.

As of 15:00 Moscow time (11:00 GMT) on Sunday, 30.6% voted in Polish capital of Warsaw, 27.92% - in Gdansk, 28.45% - Wroclaw.

The turnout forecast for the runoff is about 54%.

Preliminary voting results and exit polls are set to be announced at 22:00 Moscow time (18:00 GMT), soon after the last polling stations close.

Polish Central Election Committee is set to sum the results of the election on Monday, July 5.
