The Fijian Elections Office says it served more than 16,500 voters in five days in some of the most remote locations in the country.

According to the FEO, on March 2 alone, it recorded 3660 voters in its engagements.

“So far we have covered over 225 locations around the country. These numbers also include several voter awareness sessions conducted by the teams directly with Fijians,” the FEO stated.

It stated that awareness teams reached  Rewasau Village in the heart of Viti Levu yesterday, and another team reached Marou Village in Nadarivatu.

The northern team reached Cikobia Island and had begun voter services to the four villages there on the island.

“As the week progresses, we continue to reach out to some of the remotest villages and settlements in our country so that all the voters in these regions access voter services right before the next general election,” the FEO stated.
