At our local voting station, the two ballot boxes had no seals on them. An off-duty cop approached the IEC officials and brought it to their attention. Nobody including the DA folk observing were aware that the seals had to be put on before the boxes are used. The seals are basically serialised cable ties that keep the box from being opened - the DA person said they thought they only get put on after the box is full. A tad disorganised and worrying.

In the doc I have it says the seals go on after the station closes unless it's a different seal ?

Seals all on and intact on those boxes - I don't understand why it would be any different.

Turn out seems strong. Everything running smoothly. Long night ahead though. When voting stops at 9pm counting starts. So will be here till 4am

After my stint as a party agent today you're right. New boxes are sealed in the presence of party agents with two numbered seals which are recorded by the agents.

You are lucky, you got the day shift. I assume you are a party agent for the DA?
