After conducting three (3) rounds of Provisional Voter List verification in rural areas, the islands and the highlands, the Fijian Elections Office [‘FEO’] embarked on Provisional Voter List display in urban areas today.

“While the Blue colored VoterCard actually states the exact Polling Venue a person will be voting in during the election, our Provisional Voter List display in urban centres will allow interested voters to confirm that they are on the Voter List,” explained Mr. Saneem.

In Fiji, a person can only vote where they are listed to vote.

“Voters will not be able to vote elsewhere when the election is held. They cannot amend their registered address vis-a-vis their registered Polling Venues after the Writ is issued. Hence the need for them to do so now,” said Mr. Saneem.

“We have also setup voter registration teams at each of these venues so that the services are provided seamlessly,” continued Mr. Saneem.

The FEO will be having teams located in various hotspot areas from now until elections to assist voters with the exercise.
