Early voting begins in Portugal for a snap general election, with polls showing the incumbent Socialists still ahead
Early voting has begun in Portugal for a snap general election, with polls showing the incumbent Socialists still ahead though with their lead over the nearest centre-right rivals narrowing.The early voting option was provided this year to reduce crowding on election day, next Sunday, due to the pandemic.
Prime Minister Antonio Costa, who has led two consecutive minority Socialist governments since 2015, also cast his ballot in the northern city of Porto. Portuguese voters who are infected and in isolation, on the other hand, will be allowed to leave home to cast their ballot next week, with a recommended hour-long slot when polling stations are traditionally less busy.Portugal allows Covid patients to vote on election dayThe snap polls were called after Costa failed to secure support for his 2022 budget from the two smaller far-left parties that had been propping up his government.
