Austria Votes in Close-Fought Election

The European Union could see its first far-right president if Norbert Hofer wins the second, run-off round of the Austrian election. 
The Freedom Party candidate faces an independent, Alexander Van der Bellen, who has the backing of the Greens. 
Hofer topped the first vote but fell well short of an outright majority, according to the (BBC). 
For the first time since World War Two, both the main centrist parties were knocked out in the first round, amid concerns over the migrant crisis. 
Ninety-thousand people claimed asylum in Austria last year, equivalent to about 1% of the Austrian population, and the Freedom Party has run a campaign against immigration. 
While the presidency is a largely ceremonial post, the president has powers to dismiss the government.
