As the Fijian Elections Office continues with it’s preparations for the next general elections, the FEO has announced the appointment of Ana Mataiciwa as Deputy Supervisor of Elections in an acting capacity.

The FEO is currently conducting a three day workshop of its directors and senior managers to finalize its plans and operational timelines for the 50-day period once the Writ of Elections is issued.

It has been confirmed that at the end of the workshop, the FEO will be publishing the Political Parties, Media and Observers itineraries for the 2022 general elections.

These itineraries will contain comprehensive information on the timelines for processes in which each of these stakeholders will have a vested interest.

Supervisor of Elections, Mohammed Saneem says the FEO will gradually publish these itineraries so that the stakeholders can prepare themselves accordingly.

Saneem also says an election is considered the largest logistics operation in any country and the FEO, as the election management body, is working towards an organized structured and an efficient delivery of election operations so that voters are able to access their right to vote conveniently.

He adds they are now planning for activities and critical electoral processes that will need to be carried out after the Election Date is announced and this is something that the FEO needs to meticulously prepare for.
