A new voting method, described as a "horror story" ahead of the upcoming elections, involves ballots that are not made of paper but of "slippery, severed, slimy organic material." At polling station 206, located at the Balfour School, the air was thick with a sweet-salty smell reminiscent of a Greek fishing port in August, causing voters to complain and wave away flies. The polling station chairman, a kindly retiree, apologized, explaining that this was the situation at all polling stations across the country. He had grown accustomed to the stench, which varied slightly, sometimes carrying notes of a chicken coop or a cow pasture, and persisted despite open windows, fans, and a purification device provided by the Central Elections Committee.
