Vanimo-Green polls into 6th day

​Vanimo-Green District in Sandaun Province is into its 6th day of polling.

Returning Officer Anthony Makes reported that Amanab LLG is progressing well with polling.

Bewani, Wutung and Onei LLG are into the 5th day of polling, including Walsa LLG and Vanimo Urban, except Green River Rural LLG, which has completed its three-day polling.

Makes said there were not enough of the Form 11 to go around during the roll update exercise, thus many eligible voters continue to miss out in voting.

But, Provincial Returning Officer for Sandaun Province Martin Anksar says polling continues to be a smooth affair for Sandaun, with Nuku progressing well also.

Aitape-Lumi commenced polling on Monday, June 26, unlike Telefomin, which started a day after because of the late arrival of security personnel.

Anksar confirmed that there was general dissatisfaction with the electoral roll used at polling because many voters were not registered.
