Costa Ricans vote Sunday in a presidential race that has been dominated by the issue of gay marriage. The two candidates in the run-off are statistically tied in polls, reports the Associated Press.

The former television announcer, representing a small evangelical party, led the February election with 25 percent of the vote -- not enough for an outright win.
