Electoral laws to be reviewed and tabled in parliament in April/May sitting

Cabinet has agreed that the Fiji Law Reform Commission take charge and responsibility for the review and reform process of the Electoral Act 2014, Electoral (Registration of Voters) Act 2012 and the Political Parties (Registration, Conduct, Funding and Disclosures) Act 2013.

A cabinet statement says the Commission will carry out the review in consultation with the Ministry of Justice, the Electoral Commission of Fiji, and the Fiji Elections Office.

Cabinet had earlier approved the review of the Electoral Acts in March 2023.

The revised electoral legislation is expected to be tabled in the April/May sitting of Parliament.
