Voters in Colombia are taking part in the first round of a presidential poll widely seen as a referendum on whether to continue peace talks with rebels.
President Juan Manuel Santos, who is seeking another four-year term, says negotiations with the Farc are the best way to end the country's civil war.
His main rival, Oscar Zuluaga, a former cabinet colleague, says he wants to take a tougher line.
An estimated 220,000 people have been killed in the 50-year rebel insurgency.
The peace process, hosted by Cuba, seeks to end the conflict, which has also displaced more than five million people since it erupted in 1964.
Correspondents say the battle between the two centre-right candidates is likely to go to a run-off next month.
Mr Santos and Mr Zuluaga are running neck-and-neck in a field of five candidates, but none of the other three has gained more than 10% in any opinion poll.
SecurityIn a recent poll, Colombians listed their three main concerns as unemployment, health and security.
Six points on peace agenda
- Land reform
- Political participation
- Disarmament
- Illicit drugs
- Rights of the victims
- Peace deal implementation
Nonetheless, President Santos's campaign has concentrated on the issue of security, namely the peace talks with the Farc, Colombia's largest rebel group, which the president started in 2012.
Mr Santos has said he hopes to sign a peace treaty with left-wing rebels this year.
But his main challenger, Mr Zuluaga, has dismissed the talks as pandering to terrorists and suggested he would scrap them in favour of tougher military campaigns.
The peace negotiations have so far yielded agreements on three items of a six-point agenda, including on the illegal drug trade.
On 16 May, the Colombian government and the Farc, which controls large areas of rural Colombia, agreed to eliminate all illicit drug production in the country should a final peace deal be reached.
