photos - election - 2nd round - part 5

This man has successfully accomplished his vote for president and deputy

The man pictured here was proud that he had voted and wanted his picture taken with his marked thumb; the sign of a successful voter!

People who did not get the opportunity to vote sometimes carried their frustrations onto the street. These policemen calmed down a situation of angry voters outside a voting site in Petionville.

This is the St. Pierre Catholic Church in Petionville. The park around the church is called Place St. Pierre. This is a view from the balcony of the Lycee in Petionville.

The Lycee was a large site with lots of voters lined up to vote. Voting was delayed a couple of hours while staff waited for supplies to be delivered. The voting day was supposed to begin at 6:00am but some centers opened at 9:00am.
