The Fijian Elections Office is expected to begin the 2018 Elections Official National Recruitment Drive from the 28th of July.
In a press conference, Supervisor of Elections Mohammed Saneem says close to 17,000 election officials will be recruited for the 2018 General Elections.
He says this is a major component of the elections, therefore the preparations are to begin soon.
Saneem says the officials will staff the 2,000 polling stations on election day.
Applicants are asked to provide their Voter Card, Joint FNPF and FRCA Card and the current details of their bank account.
They will also be tested on their numeracy and literacy skills.
Meanwhile the Nationwide Voter Registration will end this Saturday.
