Bailey warned the public about electoral offences: “I appeal to the public to pay attention to the electoral offences; all of which carry prison terms and fines. I invite the public to join all electoral workers to ensure that the elections are peaceful and that each person gets one vote in the right place. All eligible voters duly registered are urged to exercise their franchise by voting on polling day. If you are not registered, do not attempt to vote and do not impersonate a voter.” He stated that persons whose national identification cards have expired, or who have misplaced or lost cards, can still vote upon presentation of any other government-issued picture identification such as a passport, driver’s licence or social security card. He confirmed that any and all persons in line at the precinct of the polling stations at 6:00 PM will be allowed to vote; anyone who comes after 6:00 PM will not. Ballot boxes will be displayed, inspected and secured before ballots are cast, and sealed and transported to the point of counting under armed guards and the presence of appointed party agents.
