Tensions have intensified thereafter, because according to some voters who were waiting in line, the candidate would have spent too much time at the polling place... Other unconfirmed reports suggest that a supporter of candidate Thimoléon would have also fired. No gunshot wound were made during these incidents... Remember that earlier this morning, disturbances erupted in Vialet, Marose, Delates, (7th communal section). In the voting centers of downtown and of communal sections, police is needed in reinforcements. Many citizens made the displacement... They are lined up in front of the polling stations and police first searched every voter, slowing the voting process...

Voters were forbidden to enter the voting center ’École foyer culturel Saint Vincent de Paul in Cité Soleil, so far we do not know the reason, that has caused great tension between the PNH and the turned away voters.

In Poirrier (North) a locality of Saint-Marc the voting operations were temporarily suspended following an altercation between two individuals and a police officer.
