Ethiopians are voting for a new parliament in the first election since the death of long-serving Prime Minister Meles Zenawi in 2012.
The current parliament has only one opposition MP - and Mr Zenawi's successor Hailemariam Desalegn is expected to hold on to power.
The opposition and human rights groups have accused the governing party of intimidation - a criticism it rejects.
Observers from the African Union are monitoring the poll.
Voting started at 06:00 (03:00 GMT) and closes at 18:00 pm (15:00 GMT).
Long queues formed at polling stations at dawn, reports the BBC's Emmanuel Igunza from the capital Addis Ababa.
Final results will not be known for a month.
Meles Zenawi's Ethiopian People's Revolutionary Democratic Front (EPRDF) has been in power for almost a quarter of a century.
More than 36m Ethiopians - and 57 political groups - have registered for the election. Many of them are organised along ethnic lines.
Just wonder what "organize along the lines" means.
