SOE observes Vanuatu elections

Supervisor of Elections, Mohammed Saneem has arrived in Vanuatu as part of the United Nations Development Programme’s election program to observe the elections taking place in Vanuatu today.

Saneem says the Fijian Elections Office facilitated the provision of indelible ink for the 2022 Vanuatu snap elections due to the short notice in which the election was announced and the time it takes to procure credible ink.

He says the FEO appreciates the support of the Indian High Commission in terms of allowing the FEO to handover ink from its contingency stock to the Electoral Commission of Vanuatu to effectively conduct their elections.

Saneem also says it is noted that it has been raining heavily in Vanuatu and this has not marred the enthusiasm of the Ni-Vanuatu in coming out and voting in numbers at the polling stations.
