Solomons Elections results

First results of Solomon's election expected today

All of the ballot boxes from yesterday's poll are being transported to central locations in the provincial capitals for counting. And counting for those areas closer to the capital begins today.

The turnout for the election was strong with some areas reporting 100 percent participation.

But this was marred by reports of some voters not being able to cast their votes because they were unable to locate their polling stations or had the wrong identification.
