Update: 7:04PM PRIME Minister Commodore Voreqe Bainimarama has released Fijis draft constitution today.

And instead of presenting the draft document to the Constituent Assembly, under the previous arrangement, Cmdr Bainimarama said it would be presented directly to the people.

He said hard copies of the draft document would be available from various government outlets.

"You will have until the 5th of April to give your feedback. You can give your feedback via email to a designated address, which will be announced in the next few days. You can write in your comments to the Solicitor General's office or drop them off there. You can even text your comments on the number 02 from midnight tonight. You can also post your comments via the Ministry of Information's Facebook page. In the next few days, we will also publish explanatory notes to help you understand each and every single section of the draft Constitution," Cmdr Bainimarama said in his national address this evening.

He said they would also publish explanatory notes in the next few days to help the general public understand each section of the draft Constitution.
