UPDATED: 7:45am – The Fijian Elections Office has urged school principals to engage students with the new National Polling Venue Directory.

Supervisor of Elections, Mohammed Saneem says the new directory has useful information that could help guide students ahead of the 2018 general elections.

“What it will achieve is that the students’ will then see what the polling venues near their houses are. For someone staying in Vatuwaqa, you have multiple options but for someone staying in Seaqaqa there is not many options so it’s important to know that ok I’m going to choose one and my second preference is this and my third is this. I invite you to create that as an activity in class perhaps.”

Saneem says the FEO is also working to boost all school libraries with election’s information materials.

The Fijian Elections Office will distribute the National Polling Venue Directory to schools in the western and the northern division today.
