Nearly 1.8 million voters are called upon to choose their MPs, mayors and regional councillors. This triple election is important for President Mohamed Ould el-Ghazouani and his El Insaf party.
Some polling stations opened more than an hour or even two hours late. There are missing voter cards – in Mauritania, it is at the time of voting that you withdraw your voter card. The voting process is very slow, sometimes with twenty minutes between two voters. The climate is calm, and for now, participation seems important.
