​Disgruntled voters behind Boroko commotion

A commotion relating to today’s polling deferral has taken place at East Boroko, China Town, in Port Moresby.

Disgruntled voters, who had turned up very early to cast their votes, were behind the incident.

According to voters who were already standing in line at the polling site, officials had arrived and had set up at the location.

About 20 to 30 minutes into the start of polling, other voters were told that they (officials) couldn't continue as they were instructed to pack and head back to their main office.

Some voters tried to physically express their frustrations but were quickly intercepted by police.

More is expected to arise today regarding the deferral of NCD’s polling by the Electoral Commission.
