In Kinshasa, Congolese are waiting to obtain duplicates of their voter card, because the original, obtained not without difficulty at the beginning of the year, have disappeared, like an ephemeral receipt. "I arrived here at 9:30 so I could get a new voter card because the old one became illegible and everything disappeared," says Grégoire-Dieudonné Kaykolongo. The Democratic Republic of Congo's presidential, legislative, provincial and municipal elections are scheduled for December 20. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
