Student voters

​NCD polls: UPNG students demand answers

Student voters have demanded the Presiding Officer to bring in the Returning Officer to explain to them why most of their names are not on the Electoral Roll.

Students say there about 5000 to 6000 registered student voters at the University of Papua New Guinea but only 1326 names are on the Electoral Roll.

From the 1326 names, about 200 are names of former students.

East Sepik student leader, Smith Wani, says some of the names on the updated electoral roll are names of students that voted in 2012 but have already left the school.
