KIEV: Polls opened for the first round of Ukraine's presidential election at 8:00 am (0500 GMT) Sunday, an AFP correspondent at a Kiev polling station said.
Comedian Volodymyr Zelensky is likely to top the vote, according to surveys, with incumbent Petro Poroshenko and ex-prime minister Yulia Tymoshenko vying to face him in a run-off next month.
Exit polls are expected at 8:00 pm (1700 GMT) with first partial results several hours after.
