Political Ombudsman Donna Parchment Brown says she has received reports of vote buying.

She made the disclosure during an interview with Radio Jamaica News a short while ago.

However, the Ombudsman declined to give details on the reports.

While she said "everything is going well" based on reports from police liaison officers and other observers, she admitted that there were "occasional reports of masks not being worn or hand sanitisers not immediately available and, in addition, there've been one or two complaints earlier in the morning before polling started of offers for vote buying."
