Counting for the Moresby South seat has officially begun.
The first 16 ballot boxes are currently being presented by presiding and assistant presiding officers.
Moresby South Returning Officer Michael Are and his team aim to complete counting of a total of 96 ballot boxes.
This will be done by counting 16 ballot boxes per shift.
With three shifts per day, counting is expected to be completed within a week.
As at 3:40pm, the first 16 boxes have been presented without any disputes by scrutineers.
More to come.
