SUPERVISOR of Elections Mohammed Saneem has urged every Fijian to come in large numbers to cast their votes today because the opportunity comes after every four years.
A total of 550,000 voters are expected to cast their votes in 854 polling venues around the country including 11,000 officials of FEO.
He reminded voters it would take about ten minutes for them cast their votes in polling stations.
“Make sure to exercise your constitutional rights to mark your battle paper. As you all know that you can only vote at the polling station where you are assigned.
“This means if any individual turns up at the wrong polling station, you will not be accommodated, to avoid disappointment use the 1500 platform to verify your location,” Mr Saneem said.
Polling begins at 7.30am.
