The National Super Alliance has backed down on its 'adopt-a-polling-station' strategy, which called for supporters to remain at polling stations to guard their votes.

The coalition's co-principals have instead told their supporters to vote and move away from the polling centres to avoid confrontation with the police officers manning the stations.
