Wednesday voting started at 6:00 am (2100 GMT) across the country with some 40 million voters eligible to cast ballots in the country’s 19th general elections.
The ruling conservative New Frontier Party (NFP) is trying to win the elections in order to preserve its parliamentary majority against the main opposition Democratic United Party (DUP).
Experts predicted both the NFP and the DUP to win 130-135 seats in the 300-member National Assembly.
The vote, coming ahead of the December presidential poll, is seen as a referendum on President Lee Myung-Bak’s administration.
