People waited for hours with the hopes of getting a voters' id card.
A man inside the compound with a megaphone announced names of people calling them to come forward to retrieve their card.
One banner that we saw hanging over one of the streets in Port-au-Prince translated into english is "CNO wants an election without force, without corruption" Sadly, the hopes of this banner didn't occur on election day. Notice the Canadian and European symbol in the bottom right corner. The international governments were hoping too for a good election day. The only people who were happy with election day were those who were up to "no-good".
The "Election 2010 on the Haitian flag poster was attached to the screen fence in front of the Palais Nationale. The election was an important one. The rebuilding process will occur under the newly elected president. Much is at stake and much damage needs to be repaired before development and improvement for the lives of the haitian people can take place. The election day ended as a "broken" electoral process" also.
Sunday morning we visited several voting bureaus throughout the city. Traffic was light, so it was easy to drive around and no motorcycles were allowed on the street. The first voting bureau we visited was near us on the hill of Delmas 31. People were voting but there were also people who had a voting card and who couldn't vote; either they were at the wrong polling station and didn't know which one to go to or that their names didn't appear on the voting list at the polling station. This situation happened to many people; probably thousands of people who wanted to vote couldn't. There were several angry young guys who were complaining at the gate while we were at the polling station.
