Chad goes to the polls Sunday for legislative, provincial and local elections that are presented by the government as the last stage of a political transition.

Polling stations will be open from 6 am to 6 pm (0500 to 1700 GMT) to welcome the approximately eight million registered voters, watched by a hundred foreign observers and representatives of different political parties.

As in previous elections, soldiers, members of the police forces and nomadic people began voting Saturday.
