The last voters cast their ballots as polls near their close in Portugal's close-fought general election, with no party expected to win a majority in parliament in a fragmented political landscape that could see the far right make huge gains. IMAGES
For some wealthy Americans, a stamp just won't cut it as a ballot-delivery device: they're determined to cast their votes in person. According to Business Insider, some wealthy voters are chartering private planes to get to the polls in their home state on Election Day. Private jet charter company evoJets says at least four customers have booked flights specifically to vote, and all of those are headed to swing states. Two of the chartered trips are to Florida, which has 29 electoral votes. Two jet-setters booked flights from popular quarantine getaways to get to their swing states. One is flying from Colorado to Pennsylvania, which has 20 electoral votes. Another is headed from Wyoming to Ohio, which has 18 electoral votes. Even for a same-day round trip, such journeys can cost tens of thousands of dollars.

President of the centre-right Social-Democratic Party Partido Social Democrata (PSD) since May 2022, Luis Montenegro holds his final rally ahead of the March 10 general election. The 51-year-old led its parliamentary group when it was in power from 2011 to 2015 and imposed severe austerity measures. Despite the far right's potential for depriving the PSD of a parliamentary majority, Luis Montenegro has insisted he will not accept entering into a coalition with Chega. IMAGES
