Guatemalans will vote for their next president Sunday in elections plagued by widespread disillusion and distrust
A sticker marking the ballot box for the President and Vice-President is pictured after voting equipment was set up by staff members of Guatemala's Supreme Electoral Tribunal ahead of Sunday's presidential election in Guatemala City, Guatemala June 14, 2019.
The road to this presidential election has been a chaotic flurry of court rulings and shenanigans, illegal party-switching and allegations of malfeasance that torpedoed the candidacies of two of the to p three candidates. A recent poll from CID Gallup Latinoamerica found that nearly a third of Guatemalan adults surveyed believe the election will be plagued by fraud. Another 20 percent said the election's legitimacy would be suspect because so many candidates were kept from running.
Unemployment, violence, corruption, rising costs of living and the shoddy state of the country's highways are among top concerns for the country's electorate.
