Al Jazeera’s Latin American

Voting day in Medellin

I am writing this post from outside the main convention centre in Medellin, Colombia's second city.

It’s currently about 17 GMT - or noon local time. The convention centre is one of the primary polling places in this city.

All morning we have seen a steady stream of people coming and going to cast their vote. I am talking thousands of people.

My colleague, Lucia Newman, Al Jazeera’s Latin American editor, has been presenting Al Jazeera’s coverage from Bogota’s Plaza Bolivar for the past few days and she is there again today to lead our coverage.
