​EHP prepares for polling

​Eastern Highland Province is prepared to go for polling on Monday, June 26, 2017.

Provincial Election Manager Steven Gore Koupa told Loop PNG this morning that most of the sensitive and non-sensitive materials have been moved out of Goroka to various polling venues as of last night.

He said Obura-Wonenara and Kainantu districts have gotten their materials and are currently sorting them at the police stations.

Okapa and Lufa will be getting their materials today while Henganofi received theirs yesterday.

Koupa said most of the teams, who are using the roads, have been dispersed to all the polling venues.

“Only those areas where we could not go there by vehicles, materials will be airlifted by Pacific chopper tomorrow,” Koupa said.

He said this include parts of Daulo, Goroka, Unngai-Bena, Lufa and Henganofi.

He added that the heavily populated areas of Okapa and Obura-Wonenara’s materials will be also airlifted by chopper.

Kaupa said the partnership between the three disciplinary forces has been going very well and he is confident that they will deliver the elections on time despite financial constraints.
