ELECTION AT A GLANCE
Colombians head to the polls today to cast their ballots for president. President Álvaro Uribe sought to seek a third term, but his bid was rejected by the courts. Considered his torchbearer is former Defense Minister Juan Manuel Santos. But Green Party candidate Antanas Mockus is now tied with, if not leading, Santos in opinion polls. Should no candidate receive more than half of the votes, a runoff will be held June 20.
