Sitting beside her counterpart, Juliette Powell, outdoor agent for the Jamaica Labour Party (JLP), exclaimed, "Victory, victory for the Laborites!"

Cole is confident of the support system in place to ensure that all goes well throughout the day.

Outlining the guidelines for the polling stations, she said, "There is no drinking, smoking, cellphones, none of that. No crowd is allowed within a hundred yards from the entrance where the auxiliary police are seated."
