ON Monday, December 5, a total of 77,907 registered voters will participate in pre-polling and cast their ballots at 613 polling venues across the country, says Supervisor of Elections Mohammed Saneem.

He said the FEO would begin deploying teams from this week to remote areas and outer islands so that Fijians living in those areas could cast their votes.

“The Electoral Act, under Section 82, allows for votes to be cast early in remote locations or in places where there are not enough voters for the establishment of a polling station,” Mr Saneem said.

He said pre-polling schedules have also been shared with the respective turaganikoro, district advisory councillors and the Roko Tuis so that voters in their areas could be informed.

“For the 2022 General Election, the FEO has also put pre-poll road signs in each of the locations where pre-poll will be taking place.

“Registered voters are reminded to bring their voter cards to the polling station and if they are unsure of anything while inside the polling station, they can seek assistance from the presiding officer.

“The Voter Instruction Booklet (VIB) will be widely distributed in pre-poll locations and this is currently underway in the Central, Northern and Western divisions while distribution in the Eastern Division has already been completed.”

Mr Saneem said FEO teams would also be carrying copies of the VIB with them to give out to every voter as they enter the polling station.
