Poland votes in a snap election

The two leading parties have traded insults during the campaign

People in Poland are voting in a parliamentary poll that has been called two years ahead of schedule.
Some are calling these elections the most important since the fall of Communism in 1989.

The poll was called after the collapse of Prime Minister Jaroslaw Kaczynski's coalition government in a row over an investigation into corruption.

Mr Kaczynski's conservative Law and Justice Party is being pitted against the rival, centre-right Civic Platform.

On Saturday, a leading Polish newspaper warned of low turnout and voter apathy.

Much of the front page of the Gazeta Wyborcza was left blank, in a symbolic representation of the 60% of voters who failed to turn out for the parliamentary election two years ago.
