Demonstrators in Haiti have set up barricades in a dispute over voter registration ahead of parliamentary elections next month.

They're angry over electoral boundaries drawn up by the authorities north of the capital, Port-au-Prince.

The protest came amid mounting international concern over the pace of voter registration, which has been beset by logistical problems and political unrest.

The electoral authorities say only ten-per-cent of eligible voters have been registered.

Correspondents say the elections are being viewed as a test of Haiti's democracy after three years of political stalemate and growing poverty.
