Election fee

Gamato: K1,000 election fee remains

Electoral Commissioner Patilias Gamato said the fee remains the same after parliament failed to do the second and third readings to amend the Organic Law on National and LLG Elections. 

“The proposed amendments are still the property of parliament and will await the new parliament to deliberate on.”

The coalition Government was adamant to increase the nomination fee to K10,000, claiming it will support the PNG Electoral Commission run the elections and also stop ‘traim lak’ candidates from contesting.
