A power outage at the start of voting in Bidoeira de Cima, Leiria district, suspended polls until electricity is restored, with a potential closure if service isn’t restored within about three hours.

Two polling tables serve 2,132 registered voters, as confirmed by the Câmara Municipal and CN E spokesperson André Wemans.

Voting resumed at 11:35 local time and proceeded normally, according to both the Câmara Municipal and the National Elections Commission (CNE).

Rádio Renascença reported the outage and CN E spokesperson André Wemans confirmed the suspension and subsequent resumption to Lusa.

Provisional results show António José Seguro leading the presidency with about 66.83% of votes, ahead of André Ventura at 33.17%, per the Ministry of Internal Administration’s Secretariat-General totals.

In the first round on January 18, Seguro led with 31.11% to Ventura’s 23.5%; Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa will leave office on March 9, with Seguro taking office before Parliament.

António José Seguro, supported by the PS, is the provisional presidential winner with 66.83% versus 33.17% for Ventura; Rebelo de Sousa’s presidency ends as Seguro takes office.

Rádio Renascença reported the outage, with CN E spokesperson André Wemans confirming the suspension and resumption details to Lusa.

Voting continued without reported issues in other parishes across Alcácer do Sal, Arruda dos Vinhos, Golegã, Santarém, Rio Maior, Cartaxo, and Salvaterra de Magos.

Overall, voting is underway in multiple locations, with weather-related delays affecting some schedules but continued operations elsewhere.

The broader pattern shows widespread delays in the second round due to bad weather, while many other areas vote as scheduled.

Bidoeira de Cima is among 20 parishes where second-round voting was postponed today because of bad weather, with about 36,000 voters registered for the delayed voting overall.
