Bulgarians are voting in a presidential run-off between 61-year-old President Iliana Iotova and 50-year-old former caretaker Prime Minister Andrey Gyurov, following a first round marked by a record low turnout of 23 percent. The election takes place amid regional security concerns after recent drone attacks on merchant ships off Bulgaria's Black Sea coast, including the sinking of a Greek container ship on Wednesday, which have left about two dozen seafarers feared dead. Exit polls will be released after voting closes at 8pm on Sunday, with results expected on Monday. If victorious, Iotova would become Bulgaria's first elected female president.
