photos - election - 2nd round - part 15

The Mayor of Petionville wants to transform the park into a green area again. A billboard shows this vision.
The international community have a large interest in the outcome of the presidential elections. The people want their assistance. This RCMP officer at one voting center was kept busy talking to voters who had questions.


Now the election observers are waiting and observing the counting and auditing process of voting day. As of today they are still observing the work being done at the voting tabulation center.


Digicel and Voila, 2 of the major cell phone companies here in Haiti see up a special number that voters could call to find out where their voting booths were. Thousands of people sent text messages to find out where they needed to vote.


Sony came with us on March 20th. We sort of lost him in the crowd on voting day. Because he didn't have an id card he was not allowed to access the places that Amos and I were able to but he enjoyed waiting and seeing Michel Martelly arrive to vote!
