There were still lines of people at some polling booths across different constituencies when polling closed at 3 pm.

At the Tuinaimato special polling booth, police officers made a final call for any remaining voters before the doors were shut at 3 pm.

According to an electoral officer on site, only those who were already in the polling venue would be allowed to finish voting. Anyone arriving after closing time will not be accepted under any circumstances.

Officials are now packing up chairs and clearing the area as the booth winds down operations.
