It looks like the Opposition do not want free and fair registration of voters - Bala

Minister for Employment Parveen Bala says it looks like that the Opposition do not want free and fair registration of voters.

Bala says the Electoral Registration of Voters Amendment Bill upholds the principle of fairness, transparency and accountability upon which our electoral system is based.

He says from their contribution, it seems the Opposition do not want the balance of rights and fairness.

Bala says it seems the Opposition has chosen to speak in one voice against the Bill and it raises serious questions about their ethics and principles.

He says the Bill simply provides a security lock on the electoral toolkit which means that we avoid voter fraud and the vote of each Fijian is protected.

Bala adds we cannot allow a voter to register and in all possibility vote multiple times.
