If Constitution is not changed, people will vote under the same system - Fatiaki

If the 2013 Constitution is not changed, people will be going to have another general election under the same electoral system.

Electoral Law Reform Commission chairman, Daniel Fatiaki stressed this while giving an update on the Commission’s next step regarding the review of the electoral system.

Fatiaki says the new electoral system cannot come into place without constitutional change.

He says they want to leave a legacy behind that will benefit the future generation.

The Chairperson says he is going to give the best electoral system through his report that the people deserve, however, it depends on the people how they want to run with it.

Fatiaki says he can't guarantee that his report will see the light of day because the Constitution is a huge barrier to implementation.

He further says no matter what the government's will is they will still have to move ahead with the Constitution if it remains unchanged.

Fatiaki says it's between now and February 27th to get the constitutional changes put in place and adopt their electoral recommendations.
