117-year-old a shining example to Fijians to register and vote
If a 117-year-old great-grandmother Adi Dionani Salaivanua can go out and register to vote in the 2018 General Election, so can you.
The great-grandmother of Navidamu Village in Macuata says she will vote in this year’s election and she is encouraging others to register and cast their vote too.
Adi Dionani is believed to be the oldest Fijian registered to vote in the upcoming election.
She was born just after the turn of the century on January 01, 1901, at Nabouwalu, Bual.
The mother of eleven children, with 34 grandchildren and 26 great-grandchildren knows the importance of getting her voice heard.
She knows the importance of one vote and it is about time those who are eligible to vote and have not registered take a long hard look at themselves.
As announced already by the Supervisor of Elections, Mohammed Saneem, this week may very well be the final round of voter registrations for the 2018 General Election.
Once the Writ is issued, the FEO will cease voter registration as well as updating of details for voters. This means time is running out for eligible voters to register and to have a say in who should sit in Government for the next four years.
And, if you are registered to vote, it is your duty to text your electronic voter registration number to 1500 to check out where your polling venue and polling station is located.
You have time now to amend any information about where you are residing now.
Do not leave it until the last minute.
For the first time in Fiji’s history, voters have the opportunity to check all their details well in advance. Today every household in Fiji has more than one mobile phone. They are well equipped to check their voting details and polling venues.
Voting is your right.
It is up to you to ensure you do your part in registering and casting that vote.
