Violence broke out as Madagascar voted on Friday in crunch elections to restore democracy after a 2009 coup, leaving a senior government official dead and a polling station torched.
Another person was kidnapped from a voting site in Bezaha, elsewhere in the south.
Voting was suspended until the three stations were moved but went ahead uninterrupted elsewhere.
The violence erupted as voters sought to end a crisis which has crippled the Indian Ocean island since strongman Andry Rajoelina, 39, ousted Marc Ravalomanana four years ago.
