In pictures: Haiti elections

Haiti's elections are the first since President Jean-Bertrand Aristide was ousted in February 2004.

Road links are so poor that ballot papers and boxes had to be delivered by mules in some areas.

There were chaotic scenes in parts of the capital, Port-au-Prince, when some stations failed to open on time.

UN peacekeepers are watching over the polls, which have been delayed several times because of unrest.

Despite the incidents, turnout is expected to be high.

Haitians are electing both a new president and a 129-member parliament.
