The national government has allocated $4 million for the upcoming Voter Registration Update exercise in Western and Choiseul provinces ahead of their provincial elections.
These activities require a substantial budget, and the government recognises the importance of providing funds to roll out the update, said George Palua, permanent secretary of the Ministry of Home Affairs.
“Without such a commitment, those eligible to vote in the two provinces would not have the opportunity to register and to vote,” Mr Palua said.
