A mass voter registration campaign is underway in Vanuatu ahead of the national general election in March.
More than $US860,000 has been budgeted for the election with the chair of the electoral commission, Martin Tete, telling the Daily Post more funding is likely to come from donor partners and other agencies.
Candidate applications open on the 21st of January, and will close six weeks before polling day -- which is scheduled for the 19th of March.
