low with voters trickling in by the handfuls to cast their ballot for the General and Regional Elections. Kaieteur News visited several polling stations across coastland where clusters of voters were seen at the polling stations, waiting in line to exercise their franchise. As persons filed into the polling station located along the West Coast, West Bank and East Bank of Demerara, many of them had to be assisted in locating their voting stations to cast their ballot.

The publication was told that the process at polling stations was generally smooth with minor hiccups, but the lay out at the polling stations was problematic for some voters particularly the elderly, those with mobility issues, in some cases struggled to find their designated voting booths.

At the Crane Primary School, West Coast Demerara (WCD), an elderly gentleman who had to be assisted to walk related that he went to three different classrooms within the school compound before he could find his correct station. Minister of Education, Priya Manickchand who visited the polling station at Crane intervened, and assisted the gentleman.  She said that she was visiting the West Demerara polling areas to ensure that the voting process was going smoothly.
