ADD Video Comment

Here is the Video of Former President Jean Bertrand Aristide and Maryse Narcisse voting together on October 25, 2015.

The presidential and legislative elections on October 25th were characterized as generally peaceful. There were scattered reports of violence at some polling centers, such as in Mirebalais where a polling station was set on fire, and the arrest of a man carrying a firearm at a polling station in Kenscoff. Otherwise, only minor disturbances were recorded such as confusion over which voters were trying to vote twice, or voters not able to find their names on electoral lists. In slum areas such as Cite Soleil voters were being threatened in order to keep them from casting their ballots.
