The Supervisor of Elections stresses the Green Voter Card has expired and they are urging Fijians to come to the nearest Voter Services Centre and update their card to the Blue Voter Card.

Saneem says over 5,000 voters have taken advantage of this opportunity.

He says people must bring their birth certificates if they want to update their voter card.

Saneem adds they are also facilitating the change of name on the birth certificate at their various Service centres.

He says business house visits will begin from the 21st of this month and many business houses have made appointments on the system.

Saneem adds the interest is mostly from business houses in the Western Division and he is urging major business houses to make the appointment with the Elections Office so that they can provide these essential services.
