Cite Soleil Residents Protest Lack of Polling Booths

HeadlineJan 25, 2006

In Haiti, residents of the poor neighborhood of Cite Soleil marched Tuesday in opposition to a low number of available polling stations in their community. Only six polling stations will be available for the neighborhood’s 200,000 residents. Critics say the UN mission and the interim government is attempting to disenfranchise voters in neighborhoods known to support Lavalas, the movement of ousted Haitian President Jean Bertrand Aristide. Haiti’s elections will be held February 7th.
