KREYOL: Haiti : Vraie ou Faux? : Election and saa, se eleksyon ki pwal PI KONPLIKE nan istwa peyi d'Haiti... Kisa ou panse???

The commission has been dogged by criticism in recent months over delays in training polling workers, disbursing campaign funds to political parties and distributing information to voters, and a spate of pre-election violence has boded ominously for security.

Sunday will set the stage for the even higher-stakes voting rounds in October and December, which include parliamentary runoffs, mayoral elections and the presidential vote, so there is intense pressure on Haitian authorities to make sure this first Election Day goes smoothly.

Question: Do you think all will go well in the elections this Sunday???
