“What is more encouraging for an election is that over 1,000 new registrations has been recorded, we hope to see an increase in the trend as we progress to this coming week.”

Saneem says over 1,000 also turned up to their service centers around Viti Levu today alone.

He reiterated that the green voter card is no longer valid hence why people need to visit their centers to upgrade their cards.
