Georgia is voting for a new president in an election that will end Mikheil Saakashvili's decade-long rule, but is unlikely to end political uncertainty in the former Soviet republic.
The front-runner to replace Saakashvili is Georgi Margvelashvili, a member of the Georgian Dream coalition, which defeated the president's party in an election a year ago.
Opinion polls put Margvelashvili, formerly an education minister, ahead of the two other main candidates - David Bakradze, a member of Saakashvili's United National Movement and a parliamentary speaker; and Nino Burjanadze, one of the leaders of the 2003 Rose Revolution that toppled Eduard Shevardnadze.
