Issue No: 936; 13 July 2001
The President Ratu Josefa Iloilo has issued the writs for national elections. Iloilo signed the writs for the 71 constituency elections yesterday. The elections are now scheduled to be held from 25 August to 1 September. Nomination day is scheduled for 26 July and objections to nominations for 27 July. Meanwhile the regime's preparations for elections have left many people disillusioned. Numerous complaints have been received that voters are not provided with the convenience of registration as used to be in the past. This time, registration booklets are not given to political parties or volunteers. People have to travel to the District Offices to get themselves registered. In addition, numerous complaints have been received from Fiji
citizens temporarily staying abroad that they are denied registration by the
Fiji embassies. |
