Music teacher, Ruth Spector, and others who have been waiting a long time to finally cast their vote this year, showed up early to queue. At around 12.30pm about 600 voters had showed up an made their mark at the station. According to IEC officials on site, the station was anticipating more than 2 000 registered voters.
Spector said she was glad that the queue was that long as it meant that people were voting and making informed decisions.
