Some Diego Martin residents voting at Westport SDA primary school have complained that the voting process was too slow.

Onika Wilson, who has a spinal injury, said a vote was lost because she could not wait.

There was a line already when Newsday visited the polling station at approximately 5.40 am. People were wearing masks and physically distancing. The line grew gradually as more and more people showed up to vote.

Joy McNish, whose mother Mildred was in a wheelchair, said no provisions were made for the elderly or pregnant women.
