Long queues formed during Eswatini's 2018 national elections. The election authority managed them through “streams,” dividing the voters' roll into groups of 500 and directing each group to a separate room. Elderly voters, pregnant women and people with disabilities received priority.
What distinguishes these lines is that, even in a political system where parties could not contest openly, election-day administration still required detailed control of order. Dividing the queue kept voting moving without changing the wider system in which the king retained extensive power.
