Bhutan vote for democracy (the video is loading, may take long. Please bear with us...)

Bhutan stands poised to become the world's newest democracy, on March 24 with elections ordered by its revered royal family to end its absolute rule. The tiny Buddhist state, wedged in the Himalayas between India and China, will elect members for a lower house, ending the century-long rule of the hugely popular Wangchuck dynasty. Security has been tightened at the polling stations.
