💨 Abstract

Poles are voting in a presidential election amid heightened security concerns due to the Ukraine war and doubts about U.S. commitment to European security. The top contenders are liberal Warsaw Mayor Rafał Trzaskowski and conservative historian Karol Nawrocki. A second round is expected on June 1. The election also tests the influence of far-right and other minor parties. The presidency holds significant power, including command of the armed forces and legislative vetoes.
