The election registration process for the West Baegu/Fataleka ward 5 by-election is proceeding smoothly in Auki, Malaita Province.
Malaita Provincial Election Manager, Peter Herehura, during an interview yesterday said the process is going smoothly without any disturbance since the nomination period opened on February 18.
“As of the day when the registration opened, which was on February 18, there have been no disturbances to the registration process.
“We are very happy and excited that this process is running smoothly and have not encountered anything that could disturb the registration process,” he said.
He said that one candidate has been registered and they are expecting more candidates to complete their registration this week and early next week.
“So far, one candidate has registered, and it would be best if others come early to complete their registration on time to avoid worry and last-minute registration.
“We are assuming that some candidates will come this week or early next week to complete their registration,” he said.
Meanwhile, the official date for the close of the registration is March 4, while March 5 is the final day for checking the validity of nomination papers and the withdrawal of candidates, with the last day being March 6.
The final day for the ballot paper draw will be on March 11.
