Elected the youngest ever leader of Spain's conservative Partido Popular (PP) party in July, 38-year-old Pablo Casado casts his vote in Madrid, in a general election marked by a resurgence of the far-right. Casado -- who has waged an aggressive campaign against outgoing PM Sanchez, accusing him of betraying Spain for talking with Catalan separatists -- could become the youngest Spanish Prime Minister in history.

Dilan Yesilgoz, leader of the centre-right VVD party and successor to Rutte, casts her ballot. Yesilgoz is hoping to cap a meteoric career by clinching the top job. Born in Turkey, the charismatic 46-year-old has taken a hard line on immigration, pledging to drive down refugee numbers -- a paradox to many as she arrived as a young girl following her asylum-seeking father.

Portuguese far-right Chega party leader, Andre Ventura, votes in a close-fought general election, with no party expected to garner a majority in parliament in a fragmented political landscape that could see the far right make huge gains. Founded in 2019, Chega, or "Enough", won one seat in parliament that same year, a first for a far-right party since the end of Portugal's dictatorship. IMAGES
Centrist Yesh Atid party leader Yair casts his vote at a polling station in Tel Aviv. He's a former prime-time news anchor once known largely for his chiselled good looks, but Israel's Yair Lapid has become one of the strongest challengers to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. IMAGES
