Polling challenges in Angoram

The majority of villagers in the Angoram District of East Sepik Province are reachable using the Sepik River waterways.

Cherobin Vaiang, the Returning Officer for Angoram in the 2017 National Election said it is a huge challenge for his polling team because of the district's geography, compounded with no communication signals. 

Despite this Vaiang says that polling in the 5 LLG's are progressing well.

He adds however that many voters are complaining of their names not being the common roll.

Meanwhile the first three polling teams arrived on Thursday from Yuat LLG, with mo arrive in the coming days.

Angoram Distrct has 32 polling teams.

Counting for the district will be held at Angoram Community Centre.
