Voting was orderly at the Ritz Hotel polling station at Madina in the Ga Rural District except that a presidential ballot box arrived without a cover until 11:35 a.m.
When the Ghana News Agency called there at about 11:07, voters had formed two long queues and were waiting patiently to cast their votes. At that time 367 eligible voters had so far cast their votes.
Miss Comfort Adotey, Presiding Officer, told the Ghana News Agency that voting delayed until about 8:50 a.m. due to the late arrival of voting materials.
Mr Samuel Anyemadu-Amaning, an opinion leader, said one ballot box with serial number CO1010710A being used for the presidential election arrived without a cover and a large board was being used for the purpose.
"I called the Electoral Commission some hours ago to bring a cover but up till now, we have not had it."
However, at about 11:35 a.m., a vehicle of the EC brought in the cover to allay the fears of electoral officials and voters at the station.
When the GNA called at the Nkwantanang DC JSS polling station at about 1423, 491 out of the 953 voters had cast their vote. Some electoral officials however complained of hunger, saying they had not been given any food.
Mr Jeyfred Obeng Asante, a polling assistant, said there had been no problems.
A voter, Mr Collins Kusi, told the Ghana News Agency that he encountered no problem and that everything was very smooth.
Ms Rosina Asante, Presiding Officer at the centre, said a man who claimed to have come from the Castle and wanted to interfere with the electoral process was turned away when he refused to identify himself.
