FORMER senator Wade Mark wondered if attempts were being made to suppress the voter turnout in part of the key marginal constituency of Tunapuna in Monday's general election, addressing a UNC briefing at the Office of the Leader of the Opposition in Port of Spain on April 24. Also present was attorney Darren Allahar.

Mark recounted being told that peculiarly some ten polling divisions were to be accommodated for voting at the single site of El Dorado West Secondary School due to the purported closure of El Dorado East Secondary School for repairs, then saying he had learnt the latter school was not under repair and so not unusable.

He wondered whether the likely traffic congestion from such a concentration of polling stations could deter people from coming to vote.
