Ana Mataiciwa has been appointed the Acting Deputy Supervisor of Elections. Fijian Elections Office (FEO) announced this yesterday.

The FEO also continued its three-day workshop with its directors and senior managers to finalise its plans and operational timelines for the 50-day period once the Writ is issued.

The workshop ends today.

“An election is considered the largest logistics operation in any country during peacetime and the FEO, as the election management body, is working towards an organised structure and an efficient delivery of election operations so that voters are able to access their right to vote conveniently,” said the Supervisor of Elections Mohammed Saneem.

“We 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.”

At the end of the workshop, the FEO would be publishing the Political Parties Itinerary, Media Itinerary and Observers Itinerary for the 2022 General Election. These Itineraries will contain comprehensive information on the timelines for processes in which each of these stakeholders will have a vested interest.

“The FEO will gradually publish these itineraries so that the stakeholders can prepare themselves accordingly” he said.
