Voters in the Maldives have been going to the polls to elect a president after two previous attempts failed.
Candidates came to a last-minute agreement earlier this week to agree and sign the voter lists required for the election to take place.
But turnout was lower than expected, amid disappointment about political rows throughout the election process.
In 2012, ex-President Mohamed Nasheed was forced from office, sparking a political crisis.
He is seeking to regain power at these elections.
Tensions are high after one vote was annulled and a re-run halted by police.
