The main consequence for Derek and I was that no alcohol is served for 2 days before and 2 days after any local or national elections. Apparently this is to ensure rash voting decisions are not made whilst drunk.
If this happened in the UK, a) national rioting would take place and b) plastic bottles would be stockpiled and cunningly filled with straight vodka/gin. We didn't see any riots in El Salvador, but we did see a surprising number of locals touting bottles of mineral water....

So who won then?
FMLN won in Suchitoto (where we were at the time)and now have a majority of the seats available in the country. They lost Managua (capital) though = big upset!
The national elections are later this year...will be interesting to see what happens....
