So will they go more hard line, or more democratic?
Quote:

Poles headed to the polls Sunday to elect a new head of state to replace President Lech Kaczynski, who was killed in a plane crash in April.

The election pits Kaczynski's twin brother, Jaroslaw Kaczynski, against Parliament Speaker Bronislaw Komorowski, who has been acting president since the crash.

The two are among 10 candidates in the election originally planned for the autumn but brought forward after Kaczynski died.

Jaroslaw Kaczynski, once prime minister, is a divisive figure in Polish politics. His far-right Law and Justice party runs on a nationalist platform with the slogan, "Poland comes first."

"We have been on this road for 21 years together and we have been right," Komorowski said on the campaign trail. "We have been moving toward democracy and navigating our way in a free economy."

The tragic death of the president and recent fatal floods in southern Poland -- which left at least 20 people dead and caused hundreds of millions of dollars in damage -- have meant a tame presidential campaign.

Political analyst Radoslaw Markowski described the race as "less aggressive" and said the candidates have avoided straightforward debate. Though the president in Poland is primarily a ceremonial figure, he has the power to veto laws, thus helping to shape politics.
