What A Mess

This time around however, public servant voting has caused a lot of stir. There were instances where names of opposition candidates were missing, voters were turned away because their names and identitification numbers did not correlate; while some were told to vote at a polling station they hadn’t registered to vote at. Shortage of ballot papers at polling stations across the country on Saturday was the order of the day.

This mess, it appears, was not only experienced by the civil servants. Some Batswana voting outside the country used social networks to vent their frustrations as some reported that they could not vote because the system simply rejected them.
