Poles are voting in a presidential run-off election which pits the identical twin brother of the last head of state, who was killed in a plane crash, against the acting president.
Both Jaroslaw Kaczynski and Bronislaw Komorowski are former anti-communist activists with conservative, Catholic upbringings, yet they differ sharply on key issues.
The outcome of the election is expected to have a significant influence on whether the country pushes through more market reforms or preserves significant welfare benefits.
An election was originally set for autumn but had to be called early to replace President Lech Kaczynski
