THE Fijian Election Office (FEO) app will soon include another tab that will list the data based on the Government distribution boundaries.
During a press conference this afternoon, Supervisor of Elections Mohammed Saneem said the FEO app presently gave people the breakdown of statistics based on the FEO administrative areas.
“We will be updating the FEO app with another tab that will be listing the data based on the Government distribution boundaries – the Eastern, Central, Western Division based on the government boundaries,” Mr Saneem said.
He said the FEO app would soon avail the distribution of the data to members of the public based on the Government’s distributional boundaries in terms of Eastern, Western, Northern and this would allow them to use the platform to compare the votes from 2014 and 2018.
“We will keep both on the app because right now, there is a quite quick reaction to these things and we would like to ensure that both are there so that people do not jump the gun and say something is changed.
“We will keep it there for a while and probably later on, we will take down the FEO administrative boundaries and keep it to the Government boundaries.”
