Spanish voters go to the polls in a general election that could make Spain the latest European Union member to swing to the right.

The country’s prime minister Pedro Sanchez called the early election after his Spanish Socialist Workers’ Party and its far-left partner, Unidas Podemos, took a beating in local and regional elections in May.
