People prepare to vote at a polling station in Tamatave, on the eastern coast of Madagascar, on October 25, 2013. Madagascar voted in crunch elections on October 25 to restore democracy after a 2009 coup plunged the island nation into crisis, with isolated incidents of violence leaving one dead. A senior government official was killed and a polling station torched as voters sought to end a crisis which has crippled the country since strongman Andry Rajoelina, 39, ousted Marc Ravalomanana four years ago.
