Tempers flared at the Hunts Pen Basic School in Clarendon South Eastern, as People's National Party (PNP) supporters accused the Electoral Office of Jamaica (EOJ) supervisor of playing politics.
 
According to one irate supporter who did not want to be named, he arrived before 7 a.m to vote at polling station 37, which he claims has the majority of the PNP voters. He said the EOJ supervisor has only been letting in voters from polling station 36.
 
"She only a let in who a vote a station 36 because dem a JLP. But mek dem gwaan, tactics nah stop wi," he said.
 
The Gleaner
 observed a few supporters clad in orange uttering some colourful words as they got impatient waiting to cast their ballots.
 
For Stanley Codner, today, he will be voting for a change.
 
"I'm voting for development of my community. We don't have any good road from when. It is weather time now and I don't see any drain cleaning," he said, revealing that the person he thinks can bring about the results is candidate Patricia Duncan Sutherland.
