WARSAW, Poland, Nov. 13 (UPI) -- Poles voted in local government elections to show whether they support reforms announced by the ruling conservative coalition a year ago.
The voters are choosing some 2,500 mayors and 47,000 local administration councilors across Poland, the International Herald Tribune said.
Results of Sunday's local elections are to be announced later this week.
The major concern for President Lech Kaczynski and Prime Minister Jaroslaw Kaczynski, identical twin brothers, is whether their Law and Justice Party would win power in Warsaw and other large towns.
The nationalist-conservative coalition has said its main goals are to curb corruption and clean the country's public sectors from former communist-era officials.
A clear victory would grant the Law and Justice Party more freedom in dealing with the problems.
In elections 14 months ago, Poland's more developed western regions and the large cities voted for the opposition center-right Civic Platform.
Prime Minister Jaroslaw Kaczynski was seeking support to help him form a solid majority in parliament following his coalition's collapse in September.
