Basescu came to the polls with his wife and his youngest daughter Elena Basescu, a member of the European Parliament.
Coming out of the voting booth, Basescu said jokingly „Oh, that was a tough choice.”
About 18 million Romanian eligible voters are expected to cast ballots Sunday to elect their president for the next five years and will choose between incumbent President Traian Basescu and social democrat Mircea Geoana.
Polls close at GMT1900.
