The Fijian Elections Office says it has issued multiple notices under Section 144A of the Electoral Act 2014 today to the administrators of One Mind One Goal, a facebook page that is run by anonymous people riddled with misinformation and personal attacks on many Fijians.
The FEO says this page has been found to be publishing material that is incorrect, misleading and designed to misinform Fijians of the registration process that is currently underway.
The Elections Office says it is also noted that the page is using videos from the weekend claiming that voter registrations is happening in school during week days.
The FEO categorically states that there is no registration process that will take place during school hours for the members of the public in the school premises.
The office says as they had corrected Lynda Tabuya prior to this, they reiterate their position on this matter.
The FEO says registration for students in schools will commence on 18th April 2022 and full schedules will be posted thereafter.
The FEO anticipates that Facebook will take action on this page considering the amount of misleading information that is being published regarding the registration process.
The Elections Office says going forward, they will keep a stringent eye on all the activities of this particular page when it comes to elections and as they understand many Fijians are disappointed with this page and more action is most likely going to be undertaken by the other relevant authorities.
The FEO says all Fijians who have been affected by this page are urged to report this matter to the police.
