Spain voted Sunday in an uncertain snap general election marked by a resurgence of the far-right after more than four decades on the outer margins of politics.
Polls opened at 9am and will close at 8pm. The complete election results will be announced shortly thereafter and The Local Spain will provide updates throughout the evening.
Until then, here was the scene on Sunday as Spaniards took part in their third general election in just three and a half years.
