MONTEVIDEO (Reuters) - In Uruguay's capital Montevideo and around this South American nation of 3.4 million people, voters are gearing up for Sunday's election, overshadowed by a plebiscite on pensions the same day and fears over crime.
Uruguayans will vote for the next president, vice president and members of parliament, with polls showing a likely runoff needed. If no presidential candidate receives over 50% of the vote on Sunday, a second round will be held on Nov. 24.
