Lithuanians are casting votes in the first round of the presidential election on Sunday. The popular incumbent, Gitanas Nauseda, is favored to win another five-year term in office. But there are eight candidates running in all, making it difficult for him or any other candidate to muster the 50% of the votes needed to win outright on Sunday. In that case, a runoff will be held on May 26. With almost 2.5 million people eligible to vote, the first meaningful results are expected late Sunday. The Lithuanian president has a semi-executive role, which includes heading the armed forces and chairing the supreme defense and national security policy body, and represents the country at the European Union and NATO summits.
