Voting in the Msambweni Constituency by-election in Kwale County started smoothly Tuesday morning with an initial low turnout of voters.
All the polling stations were opened by 6am, Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) Returning Officer Yusuf Abubakar confirmed.
By 6.30am voters had started streaming into the polling stations to cast their votes.
The Informer found voters washing their hands before accessing their voting streams at Mwakigwena and Jogoo Grounds polling stations.
Before getting into the voting rooms, the voters had their temperatures checked using thermo guns.
However, social distancing was not being observed in many of the polling stations.
Meanwhile, some voters complained that the verification of their names was taking too long. But it turned out that some had queued in the wrong voting streams and had to be directed to where their names were listed.
