More than 63,000 registered voters are casting ballots across 17 constituencies and about 190 polling stations, open from 6am to 6pm, with Commonwealth observers deployed nationwide.

Observers are monitoring opening, voting, closing and results management, and the Commonwealth Observer Group is due to issue a preliminary statement on 1 May.
