Electoral Process

TIPNG made this known during its recently presented Observation Report of the 2022 National General Elections.

It was recommended that restoring public confidence and ensuring transparency and integrity of the elections must be given priority to improve the conduct of the next National General Election.

TIPNG says strategies to improve the conduct of the National Elections in PNG should focus on promoting transparency throughout the entirety of the five-year electoral cycle.

That means restoring public confidence in the electoral process.

Chairman of IDEC and Secretary for the Department of Prime Minister and National Executive Council, Ivan Pomaleu, says against all odds, election officials were able to conduct safe and free elections throughout most parts of the country, during this COVID-19 pandemic.

“I commend the hard working election officials for your devotion and commitment during this time. Despite confronting challenges, you were able to oversee and conduct polling peacefully,” said Pomaleu.
