    Opinion polls in recent weeks have unanimously predicted the new ballot today will also fail to deliver enough votes for any one party to take power alone.

    That would likely consign Spain to another period of protracted political negotiations and, possibly, another ballot if there is no breakthrough.

    Political negotiations could be complicated by increased support for a new far-left alliance called Unidos Podemos (United We Can), which is expected to finish second.
