Perspectives on Congolese 2011 Elections Start: 11/17/2011 09:30 End: 11/17/2011 11:00 In less than three weeks, Congolese voters are scheduled to go to the polls to vote in the nation’s second democratic elections. With more than 63,000 voter stations, 18,000 candidates and 32 million voters, the election will be a complicated exercise. The electoral period has been contentious. National and international organizations have expressed concerns about increasingly acrimonious political climate, and called all parties to respect the process and reject violence.
