Illegal ballot paper marking

Investigation into illegal ballot paper marking

This was announced by Electoral Commissioner, Patilias Gamato, after seeing the amateur footage shown on TVWAN News yesterday.

The incident occurred in North Waghi at the Singirok Barracks where ballot papers were marked outside of the legal electoral process.

The boxes in question are for Kendu 1 and 2, Tolu 1 and 2, and Bolba 1 and 2.

Gamato said what transpired was inappropriate and was not democratic, and has already instructed that the ballot boxes be set aside.
