BBC reports from Uganda polling station hit by technical problems

Logistical problems have delayed voting in Uganda's presidential and parliamentary elections in many parts of the country amid an internet shutdown.

The BBC observed growing frustration among voters queuing at some polling stations in the capital, Kampala, in the morning, although voting later took place in most areas.

The delays of up to four hours have been blamed on failures of biometric identification kits, which some have linked to the network outage, as well as a lack of equipment in some places.
