VELLA LA VELLA constituents have raised concerns over the huge number of transfers into the constituency noted during the current registration.

It is reported that huge numbers of people from other constituencies have transferred to the South East Vella Constituency and the North Vella Constituency.

A Mr Mathew Kale said that almost a thousand people within South and North Vella constituency have registered to vote in the upcoming national general election next year.

“There are more people from other constituencies in the province have cross over to Vella la Vella Island to register their names for this upcoming national general election next year.

“We are calling on the Solomon Islands Electoral Commission (SIEC) registration Officers and Observers at voter registration centers (VRCs) within Vella to identify ghost voters who come to registered their names to put a stop.”
