2 | This post is part of our special coverage Tunisia Revolution 2011. | |
3 | Today will be engraved in the memories of Tunisian voters, who poured into polling stations, from the early hours of the morning. | Voasokitra ao amin'ny tsiaron'ny mpifidy Toniziana, izay nameno ny birao fandatsaham-bato hatry ny vao maraimbe, ny andro androany [alahady]. |
4 | Tunisians are electing a national constituent assembly to re-write the country's constitution. | Nifidy ny antenimieram-panorenana handrafitra ny Lalampanorenan'ny Firenena ny Toniziana. |
5 | Before this election day, there were fears that the rate of turnout would be weak, and disappointing. | Nialoha ny fifidianana dia nisy ny fanahiana fandrao ho vitsy ny salam-pandraisana anjara ka handiso fanantenana. |
6 | On October 17, Tunisian @Arabasta1 tweeted: | Tamin'ny 17 Oktobra, Toniziana @Arabasta1 ni-tweet hoe: |
7 | My nightmare for the 23/10: a weak participation rate on that day. | Ny Nofy ratsiko amin'ny 23/10: fandraisana anjara vitsy amin'io andro io. |
8 | Tunisia will be the one to lose and not the political parties, GO VOTE | Tonizia no ho resy amin'izany fa tsy ny antoko politika, MANDEHANA MIFIDY |
9 | On election day, however, voters needed to stand in long queues and wait for hours before they could cast their votes. | Ny androm-pifidianana, anefa, tsy maintsy nijoro nandritra ny fotoana maharitra tanaty filaharana ny mpifidy ahafahany maneho ny safidiny. |
10 | Kamel Jendoubi, the head of the Independent Commission for the Election described the voter turnout as ”exceeding all expectations.” | Kamel Jendoubi, lehiben'ny Vaomieram-pirenena Mahaleo tena misahana ny fifidianana milaza fa ”mihoatra lavitra noho izany noeritreretina” ny mpifidy. |
11 | The following YouTube video features long queues outside a polling station. | Ny lahatsary manaraka etoana ao amin'ny YouTube no mampiseho izany filaharana lava dia lava izany ao ivelan'ny biraom-pifidianana iray. |
12 | With very little time left before the polls close, voters are still standing in queues to cast their votes in what everyone hopes will be the first free and fair elections in the history of Tunisia. | Fotoana fohy mialoha ny hikatonan'ny biraom-pifidianana, mbola mijoro milahatra handrotsa-bato amin'izay eritreretin'ny rehetra ho fifidianana marina sy malalaka voalohany amin'ny tantaran'i Tonizia ny mpifidy. |
