Voting is under way in Uruguay's presidential run-off election with the leftist alliance of celebrated former President Jose Pepe Mujica hoping to come back to power after five years of right-wing government.
Unlike sharp right-left divides in recent elections in Argentina, Brazil or Mexico, Uruguay's political arena is relatively tension-free, with significant overlap between the conservative and liberal coalitions vying for office.
Orsi, who has pledged a modern left policy approach, won 43.9 percent of the October vote for the Broad Front and will face Delgado, who secured 26.8 percent but also has the backing of the conservative Colorado Party.
Delgado, meanwhile, has asked voters to re-elect a good government, seeking to capitalise on the popularity of President Lacalle Pou.
