Frontrunners in Slovenia's presidential race vote

Two of the favorites in Slovenia's presidential election cast their ballots on Sunday.

Both Logar and Pirc Musar have emerged as favorites among seven candidates along with government-backed member of European Parliament and center-left Social Democrat Milan Brglez.

Latest surveys put Logar on 30%, followed by Pirc Musar with around 20% and Brglez with 17%. Should Pirc Musar win, she would become Slovenia's first female head of state since the country gained independence from Yugoslavia in 1991.

Polls will close at 7pm local time (1700 GMT) with results expected around 10pm (2000 GMT).
