photos - elections - part 5

Police showed up ready to handle problems at the site. The young men left but frustrated voters were everywhere. I felt sorry for the haitian people who wanted to vote and couldn't. They wanted to vote for change.

We went near the CEP (Conseil Electorale Provisoire) located on main Delmas (near Delmas 43). All things were quiet there early in the morning!

A few police and UN soldiers were in place to keep an eye on things.

We drove up to Petionville and stopped at the public park called Place Pierre. There were 3 polling stations set up in building around the ring of the park. The park itself has been a refuge camp since the earthquake. One of the polling stations was at the "Freres de l'Instruction Chretienne" (Brothers of Christian Instruction) school. Things were quiet at this location.

A large polling station was set up at the Lycee de Petionville. This large building was the voting station for a lot of people and there were lineups to vote! It was a good thing to see a busy voting station!
