Description
Two Mayan stand idly at a polling place wearing colorful clothes wait in line to vote and hats. Sitting in the background is another group of men waiting to vote. To the right of the image is an armed soldier standing. The government required every literate person over the age of eighteen to vote or pay a fine. They were told that they would be killed if they did not vote. Groups of Mayan men started lining up to vote at five in the morning. Dos hombres vistiendo ropa colorida yacen parados mientras esperan a votar. Ellos portan sombreros. Sentados al fondo de la imagen se observan varios hombres más esperando votar. Sobre la izquierda de la imagen se observan varios hombres sentados esperando votar. Sobre la derecha de la imagen se observa a un soldado armado. El gobierno exigió que todas las personas alfabetizadas mayores de dieciocho años votaran o pagarían una multa. Se les dijo que los matarían si no votaban. Grupos de hombres mayas comenzaron a formarse para votar a las cinco de la mañana.
