Mali votes for president; few go to polls in Kidal
          
Voters are heading to the polls in Mali's first election since last year's coup, despite massive technical glitches which have resulted in tens of thousands of registered voters being dropped from the voter list.                       

In the contested region of Kidal on Sunday, only a trickle of voters made their way past checkpoints manned by U.N. peacekeepers. The majority that came couldn't find their name on the lists posted outside their polling station. Kidal was the birthplace of last year's uprising by Tuareg separatists, a rebellion which set in motion a sequence of events that led to the coup in the capital.                

Officials are worried that low voter turnout, combined with the technical lapses that are preventing people from voting will undermine the legitimacy of the election.
