The Syrian people will head tomorrow to ballot boxes to elect Syrian President Hafez al-Assad for a fifth presidential term of seven years starting in March.

The election was originally to be held yesterday, but it was delayed due to the death of Jordan's King Hussein.

Syrian sources in Cairo told ArabicNews.com today that millions of citizens will carry out their national duties and their rights in democracy and that the election boxes will number 11,142 distributed in all cities and areas and in governmental institutions.
