In general the day of voting procedures went quite smoothly but the observers saw inconsistencies that raised alarm. First organization at the polls was a problem. There was only allowed as many people in the polling station as there were polls there this cause extremely long lines and tension. Contributing to the long wait was the lack of organization surrounding the distribution of the voter materials. Observers noted that another cause of delays was the fact that many poll workers were picked form a pool of candidate representative. These peoples loyalty to their candidate overshadowed their duty to run a orderly poll. These delay deterred many including the disable from voting. The security on the voting day discouraged most overt forms of voter intimidation but party officers and candidate reps. station inside the 50 meter no campaigning zone was found to intimidate many voters.
