This is what happens if 5pm found you on the queue
By 5pm some polling stations were yet to close for various reasons including opening late and the presence of voters in the queues who were yet to vote.
According to the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC), anyone who was on the queue by 5pm will be allowed to vote.
