It was possible to vote for only a few hours. The Mossos d'Esquadra appeared and looked for the ballot boxes, but they could not find them. Finally they left empty-handed, but closed the polling station. Later the voters managed to reopen at five in the afternoon. In the end it was possible to count the votes.
At dawn there are about fifty people protecting the centre.
The queue to vote is very long.

The school is sealed.
