Latvians go to the polls on Saturday to vote in parliamentary elections.
Over 1,000 polls have been set up in Latvia and abroad to cater to some 1.5 million voters.
The opposition Saskanas Centrs (Harmony Centre) party representing the Russian-speaking majority is leading in opinion polls.
Public anger at the country's recent austerity measures could help the Saskanas Centrs grab seats in parliament for the first time in two decades, analysts say.
But the surveys also show strong support for Prime Minister Valdis Dombrovskis' Vienotiba (Unity) bloc. Dombrovskis, who still enjoys widespread popularity despite the unpopular budget cuts and tax increases, entered office in 2009 when the recession was at its worst.
