WARSAW—Poland’s ruling euroskeptics could see their firm grip on power loosened over the next couple years as liberal, city-dwellers, angry at the government’s democratic record, are voting against them in growing numbers, regional elections showed.

Final results of Sunday’s nationwide ballot for city hall chiefs and provincial assemblies will be published Oct. 23 at the earliest, the electoral commission said Oct. 22. But exit polls showed Law and Justice (PiS) made only limited gains and lost a high-profile contest for Warsaw mayor.
