Vanuatu Electoral Commission won’t tolerate threats ahead of general election

Vanuatu will go to the polls on Thursday and campaigning has been vigorous around the country.

Mr Tete said VEC will not tolerate such behaviour and he is calling on members of the public to report any such activity so authorities concerned can take action.

According to Mr Tete, there are reports of voters being threatened and intimidated by some candidates supporters.

Calls for Vanuatu Electoral Commission to clarify voting numbers

Jenny Ligo, from Vanuatu Women against Crime and Corruption, says many people were promised voting cards last year but have not received them in time for the snap election.

The Chairman of the Electoral Commission, John Killion Taleo, responded to criticism and claims that many young people haven't been able to enrol, saying as at June 2015, there were almost 10,000 more voters registered than the previous year.
