People in Portugal started casting their ballots on Sunday in the first general election following the country’s exit from an international bailout program in May last year.
Polling stations opened at 8 a.m. local time (0700 GMT), and preliminary results are expected around 8 p.m.(1900 GMT).
The 9.6 million eligible voters will choose between the center-right ruling coalition, led by Prime Minister Pedro Passos Coelho, and the main opposition socialist party headed by Secretary-General Antonio Costa.
The Portuguese prime minister voted on Sunday in Massama, around 16 km from Lisbon, and called for people not to abstain.
The leader of the Social Democrat Party said Sunday was a “day of hope” and that the next four years would be very different to the past four years.
Portugal signed a 78-billion-euro bailout deal in 2011 with international lenders and has been implementing tough austerity measures to reach deficit targets.
“I think that … [we] don’t need a change; what we need is [to] continue some measures to maintain the stability for the country,” said Carlos, a voter.
Isabel, another voter, expressed concern about the cost of living, taxes and employment. “We have a lot of taxes. And, the life is expensive in Portugal. … Whichever the government that comes, I hope that we [don’t] have more taxes and we can have more employees in Portugal,” she said.
Sixteen political forces, comprising three coalitions and 13 parties, are contesting this year’s election.
Election opinion polls have shown that the ruling center-right coalition has a good chance of winning but is unlikely to secure a parliamentary majority.
