Voter denied new parliamentary ballot paper at Bortianor Methodist Primary Centre
At Bortianor Methodist Primary Centre 2A, a voter who had not thumbprinted on the parliamentary ballot paper but mistakenly dropped the unmarked sheet into the box turned around and requested another ballot paper. However, he was denied, with the explanation that issuing him a new one would lead to over-voting.
He had been issued both the presidential and parliamentary ballot papers. After casting his vote for the presidential election, the voter admitted he had forgotten and accidentally dropped the unmarked parliamentary ballot paper into the box.

He asked to be given a new parliamentary ballot paper to cast his vote. Still, both the Presiding Officer at the centre and the party agents present stated this was impossible.
Aside from this incident, voting at Centre 2A and Bortianor Methodist Primary Centre B proceeded without unusual occurrences since voting began at 7 a.m.
In each of the centres, 429 people are expected to vote.
