election awareness campaign

The theme of the event is “Be informed to make good choices during election”.

Electoral Commissioner Patilias Gamato will officially launch the awareness campaign with Chief Secretary to Government Isaac Lupari.

Lupari is also the chairman of the Inter-Departmental Election Committee (IDEC).

PNGEC advised that much of the awareness songs, video and posters will be concentrated in creating awareness in the Highlands Region because of the voting culture in the country’s populous region.

The awareness campaign is phase 1 of the Central Province police command’s election operations plan. 

The Operational plan for the awareness campaign has been divided into three phases:

1.     Pre-election operation which includes general awareness and intelligence gathering;

2.     Election proper operation which includes polling and counting; and

3.     Post election operation is a mop up exercise that caters for any disruptions that may occur after the declaration of winning candidates.
