Haiti Holds Presidential Elections, After Delay

HeadlineNov 21, 2016

In Haiti, residents are awaiting the results of the presidential elections, which were held Sunday after being delayed in October amid Haiti’s efforts to recover from the devastating Category 4 Hurricane Matthew. The hurricane killed 1,000 people and destroyed key infrastructure. This is a voter in Port-au-Prince.

Port-au-Prince resident: “I left my house this morning at 4:00. I came here walking, because there were no cars. I came here because I really wanted to vote.”
