Low tide at Walvis polling stations

Narraville Primary School. Quiet...
By 09h30 this morning only 15 voters have cast their votes at Long Beach in the Walvis Bay Rural Constituency.
At the busiest polling stations only about 150 voters have cast their votes so far.
The polling station at Narraville Primary School, usually packed by this time, was eerily quiet when The Namibian visited earlier
About 130 voters cast their votes there so far today.
Polling officials have encouraged officers from other polling stations to refer voters there if they experience long queues.
Polling officials however expect more voters after lunch.
Voting in Walvis Bay is proceeding smoothly but a few elderly voters are struggling to understand how the EVMs work.
Other Walvis Bay Urban Constituency polling stations in Narraville are also very quiet.
