Runoffs, reruns and rightwingers: Europe prepares for electoral ‘super Sunday’

Millions will cast votes in crucial contests in Romania, Poland and Portugal

Millions of voters in Romania, Poland and Portugal will cast their ballots this weekend in an electoral “super Sunday” that will determine the course of their democracies at a time of heightened political, commercial and economic tensions.

In Romania, the far-right candidate is the frontrunner in a presidential runoff, while the first-round vote in a deeply polarised Poland will see liberal, conservative and far-right hopefuls vying to become president.
