Voter registration in the country is not compulsory and will not be made compulsory according to Minister for Elections Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum.
When asked by Fijivillage on whether the government may look at the option of making voter registration compulsory, Sayed-Khaiyum said this will not happen as Fiji gets a good voter turnout.
Voter registration continues around the country and as of yesterday, the total figure for voter registration is 73,721.
About 660,000 potential voters are expected to be registered by the Elections Office.
