BEIRUT, Lebanon (CNN) -- Lebanese voters began casting ballots Sunday in an election pitting a coalition supported by the United States against an alliance backed by the militant group, Hezbollah.
The polls opened at 7 a.m. local time (1200 GMT) and will close in 12 hours.
Turnout is expected to be high among the country's 3 million registered voters. Analysts say the race will be tight, with the Hezbollah-dominated "March 8 alliance" possibly winning a majority of seats in parliament.
