Voters across the region queued at schools and community halls on Saturday in an election widely seen as a test of national support for both main parties.

Officials reported steady turnout by midday, with longer lines in urban areas. Party leaders spent the final hours visiting marginal seats, where the result is expected to be decided by a few hundred votes.

Counting begins at six this evening and the first results are expected within two hours. A full picture is not likely before tomorrow morning.
