Central Market A polling station in Arua next to Roasted Meat vendors


The secrecy of vote was not entirely guaranteed due to the nature of the polling station location and the ‘booth’, a simple basin. While observeers has not noticed any polling agents or party agents attempting to look over the vote marking or to influence the vote of a voter, it appears that the basin is not sufficiently protecting the secrecy of the vote, as it is possibly easy for anyone to estimate even from far at which place the voter is marking the vertically shaped ballot paper. In some cases, a polling agent was sitting not far enough from the basin.


“We are sorry, thank you for reminding us.” This was at 12:38 PM
