In Damascus, streets are plastered with posters of candidates, encouraging people to cast their votes. Earlier we talked to our correspondent Alaa Ebrahim, who was at one polling station in Damascus.

That being served today than results of the elections someone, expect everyone know that the ruling party will win the majority. But we also have to take consideration that the election could be a very short term that and holding another elections in 18 months since the beginning of the transitional period.

If this resolution is implemented according to the peace talks in Geneva right now. The current parliament could only last for less than a year. So this elections is more about again. It's test for popularity of Syrian Basher Assad and his government.
