El Salvador held presidential elections to decide between continuing left-wing leadership or returning to right-wing governance. The elections, under heavy security, opened with a high likelihood of a second round. Five million voters were to choose a successor to the first leftist president, Mauricio Funes. The main contenders were Vice President Salvador Sánchez and Norman Quijano from the Nationalist Republican Alliance. The new president, starting June 1, faces challenges like gang violence, fiscal issues, and economic growth. For the first time, residential voting was implemented, with results expected by 10 PM local time.
