“Voters are also reminded that it is an offence under Section 60 [3] [b] of the Parliamentary Election Act 1978, for a voter to ‘show his ballot paper, when marked, so as to allow the name of the candidate for whom he has voted to be known’.
“As an added advisory, voters in the upcoming Constituency #33 Bye-Election are advised that the use of cellular phones within the polling place is not permitted.

First – please make sure that you are properly registered for the bye election everyone – it is important that your voice be heard. I don’t care who you vote for – each vote is important!
2nd – for all those who were promised things or incentives to vote a certain way, please see the warning above regarding the use of cell phones within the polling station and the “viewing/showing” of a vote – - it is an offense. Please do not put yourself at risk for any political party, individual or for financial gain – it is not worth it.
Vote for who you believe will work for you and the area – it is that simple.
Why can’t they have the open booths like they did for the last General Election?
Because a certain group wants to hide something.
