CIP Mozambique Elections: Polls open with long queues

Voting began normally across the country at 7 am this morning, according to our 200 correspondents in the 65 municipalities. Nearly all polling stations had long queues of 50 to 150 people, with people voting early on a day which is predicted to be very hot. This suggests a turnout will be about 50%, which is normal for municipal elections.
In Nampula there are problems with observers with credentials issued by the provincial STAE not being allowed to observe by polling station officials.
One unusual thing was reported. The registration process is to fill a book of 800 names which is a polling station and open the next book. Inevitably, then, the final book has fewer names and often the final polling station has no queue. But our correspondents in many places report more than one polling station without queues. In Bairro Maphiry in Ulongue-Angónia, Tete, there are 7 polling stations, four with long queues and three with none. There are numerous others with two polling stations with no queues. There is concern that these are register books of ghost voters.
