On 16 December 1990, for the first time in their history, the people of Haiti chose a president by means of a peaceful, democratic election. Assisting them in that process was the United Nations Observer Group for the Verification of Elections in Haiti (ONUVEH), drawing on experience with the Namibian elections earlier in the year, and with the added innovation of UN Security observers. Approximately 70 percent of those registered voted, choosing as their leader the Reverend Jean-Bertrand Aristide. Haitians celebrate the election of Father Aristide.
Republic of Korea citizens participated in the first direct presidential election held by popular ballot since the founding of the Republic in 1948. Interest in the election was keen as people throughout the country flocked to the polls to register their preference. It is estimated that about 7 million ballots were cast. Members of the United Nations Commission for the Unification and Rehabilitation of Korea (UNCURK) observed the election. A sealed ballot box starts on its way to election headquarters. In the more remote areas the ballot box was carried by "A" frame to the main road and put on motor trucks, which carried them to the Central Government Counting Office.
