The contestants.
It is said that Spain are voting for the second time in six months after the first election conducted in December resulting to a hung parliament, the repeat election is coming after the four major parties disagreed to form a coalition government.
But many are thinking even the re-election might not solve the political deadlock in ravishing the country's economy.
It will be recalled that Spain had suffered great economy challenges and on the verge of collapsing as Spain has suffered lot of unemployment and as well as job lose few years ago.
Popular Party (PP), the conservative party is having the confident of becoming the first without a majority, while the on-the-rise-left-wing Unidos Podemos alliance is marked to overtake the centre-left Socialists in second place.

Ciudadanos, the business-friendly is expected to take the fourth position.
The Socialists and Unidos Podemos could potentially create a broad left-of-centre coalition.
Reporting from Spain's capital, Madrid,Al ajazeera Neave Barker said there was a lot at stake in this general election.
"Spanish people are going back to the polls for the second time in six months. They are fed up and they want to put an end to this political impasse."
Britain's surprise Recently on Thursday Britons voted to leave the EU has further added to the uncertainty, with the PP insisting on the need for "stability" in the face of "radicalism" and "populism".
"If you want a united country and not a radical Spain, think about it, go for what is safe, vote for the Popular Party," Mariano Rajoy, acting prime minister, said.
The Unidos Podemos coalition, led by Pablo Iglesias, has responded with a message of calm aimed at defusing this criticism.
The left-wing alliance - the "o" of Unidos shaped as a heart - has made "smile of a country" its slogan for an emotional campaign.
"Thank you. For everything," Iglesias said in his final campaign-related tweet, a picture of him from the back, raising his fist towards a crowd.
Rajoy argues that since the PP came to power in 2011, it has brought Spain back to growth and overseen a drop in unemployment - though at 21 percent, it is still the second highest rate in the EU after Greece.
But his rivals retort that inequalities have risen and the jobs created are mainly unstable.

The PP has also been engulfed by corruption scandals in recent years, with jailed party treasurer Luis Barcenas telling investigators about a scheme of illegal contributions and donations to the party.
The Socialists are fighting smaller scandals of their own, involving allegations that former party members ran a fraud scheme by siphoning off public funds.
Analysts are not expecting a high turnout, due to the voters' disillusionment with the political class.
After the vote, political leaders are expected to head back to the negotiating table, under more pressure this time to form a coalition.
