Restoring public confidence

Transparency International PNG (TIPNG) says restoring public confidence in the electoral process should be the aim of any reform.

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.

Transparency International PNG says restoring public confidence in the electoral process must be given priority to improve the conduct of the next National General Election.

Findings from the report indicated that the election continued a trend of deterioration in the quality, conduct and management of the elections, with reports of lack of action enforcement against people committing election offences, non-compliance with constitutional requirements.
