Youths from the six wards of Lae, Morobe Province are currently doing enrollment for new eligible voters following the 2024 LLG election that will take place next month (July 2024).
The task was given to the members of the six wards by the Electoral Commission of Morobe Province headed by Mr. Simon Soheke.
The enrolment began on Monday (13th May 2024) and is nearing completion.
This follows an induction workshop by the Electoral Commission Office in Lae for the agents, who then identified team members to work as volunteers in updating the roll.
Lae’s Ward three area has already completed the enrollment process and handed in the forms used to update the roll.
The six teams are being supervised by three Coordinators who oversee two wards respectively.
According to the Electoral Commission of Morobe, especially Lae, the engagement of community in the common roll update is the first approach the office has taken to prepare for the LLG election.
With limited resources, including lack of funding, the EC office and over 200 Electoral Commission Common Roll agents from the six (6) wards of Lae managed to cover all areas in their community including Ahi LLG, which is headed by a woman.
Meanwhile, Ward 6A of East Taraka, which is headed by Team Leader, Gabriel Jamine has completed the update and enrolment process and will hand over the completed forms to the Electoral Commission Office.
