Outgoing Prime Minister Lucas Papademos and party leaders Socialist Evangelos Venizelos and Conservative Antonis Samaras vote in Greece's parliamentary elections.
Both Venizelos and front runner conservative leader Samaras participated in a coalition government led by technocrat Prime Minister Lucas Papademos which paved the way for the election after concluding a 130 billion euro bailout agreement and a bond swap with creditors that sliced over 100 billion euros off Greece's debt.
It is likely that neither of the two main parties will clinch a majority and will have to form a coalition.
A post-election alliance with sixty year-old conservative arch-rival Samaras will not come easily. Samaras wants parts of the bailout renegotiated to boost growth and bring Greece out of its worst recession in years. He insists on becoming premier.
