By the end of last week the Fijian Elections Office (FEO) had processed 178 candidates representing four political parties.
Those rejected had failed to meet the requirements of the Electoral Act, according to the FEO.
The FijiFirst Party, the Social Democratic Liberal Party (SODELPA) and the National Federation Party (NFP) all presented a full line-up for the 51 parliamentary seats and each had one candidate rejected.
