The extreme flooding over the past week has put a strain on those who have had to evacuate their homes. While floodwaters have started to recede in the Cayo District, the village of Calla Creek was a major concern for the Elections and Boundaries Department. Chief Elections Officer, Josephine Tamai told us today that they had to change one of the polling stations in the village because it couldn't be accessed:

"One of the areas that we had concerns in the Cayo district was for Cayo West actually polling area number 85 which is calla Creek so voters in Calla Creek will now go to vote at the Seven Day Adventist Church so we want voters to be aware of that because access to the school is not able to… we are not able to get there right now. The returning officers are out there, we know the political parties have also been informed, we are doing the radio announcements as well so we are trying to get the message out to the voters as best as possible."
There are no changes to any other polling stations.
