The Fijian Elections Office [‘FEO’] has published the Polling Venue List for the 2022 General Election in accordance to Section 41 (2) of the Electoral Act, 2014. The Polling Venue List contains the Names of Polling Venues around the country and Addresses of Polling Venues by Divisions.
Supervisor of Elections, Mr Mohammed Saneem has called on members of the public, political parties, government agencies and all other stakeholders to access the list in order to locate their Polling Venues.
Mr Saneem said voters should be fully aware of where to vote on Election Day to avoid any confusion of appearing at the wrong Polling Venue.
“Each Polling Venue may have several Polling Stations to distribute voters and maintain a maximum of 650 voters per Polling Station,” Mr Saneem said.
“The List that is published will contain the names of all the Polling Venues that were approved by the Electoral Commission in 2021. Following the issue of the Writ, if any venue became unavailable, the FEO will make arrangements and place notices accordingly.”
He added voters could also check their Polling Venues by texting their VoterCard number to 1500 upon which voters will receive a text containing details of where to vote. This is a free service for all mobile networks.
Voters can also use locate their Polling Venue by using the Polling Venue Locator on: services.feo.org.fj/PVL.
Printed copies of the Polling Venue List are available at the FEO headquarters and FEO Divisional Offices. Voters can also access the complete list in today’s Fiji Times and Fiji Sun as well as on the FEO website at www.feo.org.fj/polling-venue-list.
