The Electoral Commission says it will need 112-million-Kina to effectively update all electoral ward rolls around the country this year. This is part of its preparations for the 2017 general elections. Electoral Commissioner Patalias Gamato says, this is covered in its budget submission of K192 million for preparatory work this year. He says the priority for this year is to conduct a supplementary LLG Election for the 27 failed elections in the Highlands Region as per a Supreme Court Order. Mr. Gamato says, it will cost the PNGEC K22 million to conduct the supplementary elections and he also urged all Provincial Election Steering Committees to take stock of their resources like ballot boxes and papers, because the PNGEC will only fund items which is unavailable. He also says that the committees have been tasked with their sub committees to conduct awareness using materials to be supplied by the PNGEC.
