The Fijian Elections Office says they have had successful engagements with 141,494 voters since the Voter Awareness Drive started on the 25th of February and they will begin their urban drive from this weekend.
Supervisor of Elections, Mohammed Saneem says they are well beyond their 100,000 target and have had engagements with about 5,000 Fijians in the rural and maritime areas daily.
Saneem says they will be in heavily populated urban centres in the Northern Division from this afternoon.
He says they will be publishing the location on where they will be in the newspapers but people will need to check their social media pages to see if there is a change in location due to weather and availability of locations.
Saneem has also confirmed they are going to be using schools in these locations because students are on a holiday.
He says they have one week to use schools to do registrations as most of the schools are in urban centres and communities already have access to these schools by virtue of students going there.
The Supervisor also says they have received more than 1,000 requests for home visitation that they will be doing when the drive ends in two weeks.
He says they are also suspending business house registrations for the two weeks so they can directly focus on these urban centres and cover as many Fijians in urban centres as possible.
