SUVA (Pacific Scoop / Pacific Media Watch): The last ballot papers for the Fiji general election left the government printery in Suva today.
Now all 700,000 ballot papers are in the Elections Office’s custody in a secure storage unit in Wailekutu.
As Fiji entered its fifth day of pre-polling, Supervisor of Elections Mohammed Saneem said there had been slight issues with today’s polling due to the tide and rough seas in the eastern part of the country.
However, pre-polling will continue as usual.
Saneem said the voter turnout at this stage was averaging 75 percent or more.
According to the Supervisor, a total of 8770 kg of paper has been used for the ballot papers.
