The teams will move around 70 villages through all the islands.

Elections officials will also inspect the venues and assess logistics as some of the islands have been planned for pre-polling stations.

Another delegation will travel to the Lomaivatu Group to conduct similar exercises.

The education teams are made up of eight members while voter registration teams have fifteen members.

Meanwhile the civic voter education programme will be officially launched in Suva this afternoon.
