Special Voting for Election 2008 by the security agencies and workers who would be on duty on Sunday is progressing steadily but the main concern is that some of them cannot vote for parliamentary candidates since they are not voting in their original constituencies.
The EC guidelines for voting spells out categorically that only electorates voting within demarcated polling stations in their constituencies would be allowed to vote for both presidential and parliamentary candidates.
When the GNA visited the Teshie Police station in the Ledzokuku Constituency at 0700 hours there was a long queue of voters waiting for their turn.
Ms Stella Aggor, the presiding officer, told the GNA that they were expecting a large turnout in the morning and there were no glitches in the EC's machinery there.
As at 0930 hours, 170 of the expected 1,300 voters had cast their ballots.
Those who were not originally registered in the constituency understood the EC guidelines and were voting only for presidential candidates.
But at the Osu police station in the Korle-Klottey Constituency, voting was held up for some time for officials to explain to the electorates, who had turned out massively, that only those registered originally in the constituency could vote. The issue was resolved and voting resumed.
Mr Adonai Clement, the Presiding officer, told the GNA: "How can they say I am preventing them from voting when our (EC) guidelines tell us what to do?
"In any case are they going to vote for a parliamentary candidate they do not know? We have explained this issue to them and it has been resolved."
He said they expected things to move smoothly as the day progressed.
