Extra ballot papers are not being distributed.
This was the clarification from the Electoral Commissioner, Patilias Gamato, this morning.
Dispelling rumours on social media, Gamato said the extra papers are safe and secure.
Gamato assures the people of PNG that the ballot papers and boxes have not been tampered with, giving assurance that special joint forces in each of the provinces have been posted to guard the sensitive items up until polling day.
Meanwhile, he adds that the common rolls have all been updated, while most of the sensitive polling materials have been sent to all provinces already.
