Polling stations opened for the second round of general elections in five weeks at 0400 GMT on Sunday while the first exit polls are expected at 1600 GMT when polls close. But having fallen short of five seats in parliament to be able to form a single-party government, Mitsotakis chose to ask 9.8 million Greek voters back to the ballot boxes.
