The declaration of the campaign period comes as Fiji prepares for the upcoming General Election, which must be held between 7th August and 6 February 2027.
The earliest possible Writ of Election may be issued from 24 June 2026.
The Electoral Commission urges all political parties, candidates, supporters, organizations, and members of the public to campaign peacefully, truthfully, and in accordance with the law.
