Amid strict security measures, 10 million Yemenis are expected to go to the polls on Tuesday to cast their ballots in the early presidential elections, in which Abdu Rabu Mansour Hadi is the only candidate, and close the book on the 33-year-rule of outgoing President Ali Abdullah Saleh.
The number of registered voters in the Supreme Committee for Elections and Referendum list is 1000, 0243.Women accounts for more than 40% of them.
"We expect a huge turnout tomorrow because Yemenis realize this time their votes are going to count. Many people used to refrain from voting in the previous polls because they felt that their vote would not make a difference and that at the end of the day the former ruling General People Congress party's candidate will win, said Mohammed al-Hdal, a member at the al-Safia election center.
"Furthermore this election represents an exit of the current stalemate that dragged for one year, which Yemeni people are looking forward to seeing the back of it" he added.
However, some people expressed their dissatisfaction of the election because there is only a sole candidate.
"Mohammed al-Mashraqi, a student in Sana'a University, said:" for me I would not bother going to the ballot box tomorrow because the result of the election is a forgone conclusion,"
More than 100000 security and army personnel have been deployed in the electoral centers across the country to ensure the election take place in secure and calm atmosphere.
The deposed President will come back to the Yemeni capital of Sana'a on Wednesday to attend the swearing-in ceremony of the new President, according to high-ranking officials in Saleh's GPC party.
The Southern Movement and Shiite Houthis have already announced that they would boycott the Tuesday's polls. However, the government downplayed that, saying that would not affect the electoral process as the majority of the Yemeni people stand by it.
Hadi is set to deliver a speech to the Yemeni people tonight at 9p.m, calling on them to take part in 21st election.
