Loop PNG was on location this morning to observe the movement of scrutineers, officials and security into the venue, which hosts the Moresby North-West and NCD regional counting.
The strip of road, once populated with small time businesses and betelnut sales, have all been cleared out by police forces.
This is due to incidents that have happened in recent times outside the Rita Flynn gates.
Police stationed on site say the place had to be cleared for the safety of the officials.
