The Fijian Elections Office will be recommending to increase the number of voters at a polling station from 500 to 650 in the 2022 General Elections.

Supervisor of Elections Mohammed Saneem says the number of voters has increased by 50,000 since 2014 when the 500 maximum limit was assigned.

Saneem says they are mindful of capacities of the polling venues to accommodate more polling stations.

He adds based on the proposed new maximum limit, they will now cater 1,926 polling stations as per the total number of voters from 31st December 2020.

The Fijian Elections Office adopted the 500 per polling station limit in 2014 and continued to use it in 2018.

The earliest day we can have the next general elections is on the 9th of July next year.
