海地選民投票 希望恢復憲法秩序

Vote counting has begun in Haiti's repeatedly derailed presidential election. No official results were expected to be issued for at least eight days.

海地一再推遲的總統選舉星期天開始計票。官方計票結果預計至少要8天后才能公佈。

Six million Haitians were eligible to vote for one of 27 presidential candidates, as well as for members of both houses of parliament.

海地有6百萬合格選民，他們要從27名總統候選人中挑選總統，並投票選舉上下兩院的議會成員。

Haitians are hoping the new national leader will end a year of uncertainty and struggles, while uniting the nation and creating jobs. Many Haitians still suffer from a 2010 earthquake and its Most recent serious storm, Hurricane Matthew.

海地民衆希望新領導人能夠結束長達一年的不穩定狀況，把國家團結起來、創造就業。海地經歷了2010年的地震以及最近颶風馬修的打擊，使許多海地人生活面臨困難。

There is no clear-cut leader among the 27 candidates for president.

目前的27位候選人當中沒有人佔絕對優勢。

A presidential election was held in October 2015, but the results were scrapped because of fraud.

2015年10月海地進行過一次總統選舉，但是由於出現舞弊，選舉結果被宣佈無效。

More than 13,000 police officers and United Nations peacekeeper troops are on the streets to safeguard voting centers.

這次選舉期間，1萬3千多名警察與聯合國維和部隊部署在海地街頭維持投票站的秩序。

But with so many candidates for president, no one is likely to gain an absolute majority of the vote. The top two finishers Sunday will face off January 29.

由於候選人衆多，這輪投票不太可能有人贏得絕對多數。兩名得票最多的候選人將於1月29號舉行決選。
