Hondurans began casting ballots Sunday to elect a new president only days after US President Donald Trump intervened in a close race with an endorsement of one candidate and announced that he would pardon a former president.

At a voting site in the capital, the country’s major parties were present outside with tables, banners, flags and music. Several dozen people lined up outside the gate to the neighborhood school and were allowed in about 30 minutes after the official start of voting.

In addition to a new president, voters will elect a new Congress, as well as hundreds of local positions.
