OVER 5 MILLION TO VOTE

-

 Over five million people are expected to cast their votes throughout the country this and next week in the 2022 polls.

The Electoral Commission has reported a generally good turn out of day one of polling today throughout the country.
Simon Sinai told the NBC Government Talkback Show tonight, all provinces with scheduled polling days today started, except for the Autonomous Region of Bougainville.
He said "In general, at least there's one or two electorates have started their polling in all the provinces which is a good sign."
Mr. Sinai said the other issues of late start to polls, names missing on the rolls, among others, are common issues in every election.
He was responding to questions about certain provinces whose pollings didn't commence as planned for today.
Mr. Sinai said "Some issues if you like you know its on the roll and people waiting on the line and some they don't find their names on the roll. Those are common issues. Late starts for a first day in any election is always a common thing. There used to be some bigger issues but with the start of polling, everything else is okay."
