Voting through formal identification of voters through biometric system before 2027, is the government's target to achieve before the next National General Election. That's from Prime Minister (PM) James Marape when responding to questions from the Member for Talasea on the improvements to the election process going forward. Marape said the first step is to complete the National Census this year, where from it an updated common roll can be established and from there, a proper identification for the people through the National Identification (NID) program, can take place. He said only then a biometric voting system can be established in preparation for 2027. Marape said he is being assisted by the Minister Assisting the Prime Minister on Constitutional Matters to have this done before the next election. The PM said the issue of improving the voting system and election process is a long inherent issue and assured Parliament that efforts are being made to ensure a better improved voting system is established, one that will be transparent in order to prevent potential corrupt practices during the next election.
