Voting in Romania's presidential election ended at 9:00 p.m. local time. The election marked a 10 percent increase in turnout compared to the first round held two weeks ago.
Turnout is around 63.5%, as in Romania, where 9.8 million people voted domestically and 1.6 million abroad.
There is a lot at stake as Romanians must choose between the liberal mayor of Bucharest, Nicusor Dan, and the nationalist leader of the far-right AUR party, George Simion.
The published exit polls show a lead for the liberal mayor of Bucharest, Nicusor Dan, with 54.9%, against the nationalist leader of the far-right AUR party, George Simion, with 45.10%.
Romania is a key NATO member on the eastern flank of the Western defense alliance and is a member of the EU, so Romania's orientation is also important for Europe.
