“The Government of the Solomon Islands had invited the Pacific Islands Forum to send an Observer Mission to their National Elections,” the release says.
“Polling day is scheduled for the November 19 and all final counts to be completed by the 27th of this month.
“Among the issues to be highlighted, are the preparations by the Government of the Solomon Islands to ensure that all aspect of Polling Day is conducted without any incidents or civil unrest.”
The Office says the mission will speak with various stakeholders both in the State and Private Sectors of the Solomon Islands to acquire an accurate and robust perspective on the preparations and conduct of the General Elections.
“Of particular interest to the Electoral Commissioner is the roll of female candidates in the General Elections of the Solomon Islands as Samoa will be implementing its special measure for increasing the amount of female Parliamentarians in 2016,” it says.

“It is expected that over a 100 foreign observers will be present in the Solomon Islands with P.I.F.S., the Commonwealth Secretariat, E.U. (European Union) and Australia providing the contingent of Electoral Observer.”
