    I just went to the polling station and it resembles more a wet market than a polling station: no queues, people pretty much everywhere, voting cabins are open and everyone can see, ballot paper are not folded, the unused ones are just on a table piled, unguarded...
    ...I can't see how difficult it'll be in this mess to rig the results, tbh
    That's crazy. Where I voted it was very orderly, and only one person allowed in a booth, and ballot papers folded....

    My polling station has moved. It's now in the middle of Kowloon Park - the sports centre next to the swimming pool. All very orderly - no complaints there. However, compared to the previous location, I now have a much longer walk to vote. It's also up several flights of stairs / or a steep incline. It is wheel chair accessible, but only via a long detour. Apparently two previous polling stations have been combined into this one larger station. The previous polling station was in a school next to restaurants, supermarkets and normal shops you go to every day. This one is next to a swimming pool. I guess conspiracy theorists would say that making it harder to vote for individuals makes it more likely that organised parties win as they are able to bus voters in.

    I eventually voted for 801 after he sent out a plea for more support on facebook late today, while my girlfriend voted for 803. Waiting for the results now....
