I suppose the thing is, you are holding a whole bunch of elections together, which makes it more complicated. With us it's normally just one, or maybe two on occasion, so it' sin and out in a couple of minutes and never any queueing in my lifetime.

But those massive queue do seem to indicate that there is something wrong. Supermarkets have pretty complicated transactions going on, but they are generally able to keep the queues relatively short.

But it's impressive seeing those people waiting for hours to cast a vote, reminiscent of the first free South African election.
