Communities in Hanuabada village in Port Moresby city turned up in numbers yesterday (Saturday) at the four stations set up by the National Capital District (NCD) Electoral Officers to take part in the Photo Roll and Biometric Enrolment Exercise.

Most of the villagers expressed their approval and satisfaction of the photo roll and biometric enrolment exercise. They said that it was about time these systems are used during the National General Elections to eradicate multiple voting and other corrupt practices during elections.

NCD Election Manager – Mr. Roney Hawengao thanked the people of Motu-Koita Electorate for the support by turning up in person to ensure they are captured in the Electoral rolls to exercise their right to vote in the 2027 National General Elections.

The Photo Roll and Biometric Enrolment exercise continued today with the NCD Electoral team doing enrolment for Elevala Mirigini, Elevala Lahara, Eleval Laurabada, Poreporena Lahara and Poreporena Laurabada villagers.

According to Mr. Hawengao, the enrolment exercise is expected to wind down by mid-week, to bring a close to Motu-Koita Electorate Photo Roll and Biometric Enrolment Exercise.

With the conclusion of Motu-Koita, the NCD Electoral Team will now undergo preparations to commence the Electoral Roll enrolment exercise for Moresby South, Moresby North-West and Moresby North-East.

Meanwhile, Mr. Hawengao emphasized that those eligible and potential voters for Motu-Koita that missed out in the exercises carried out over the past weeks, will have to visit the NCD Electoral Office and get themselves enrolled.

So far, there have not been any incidents encountered or reported for the Motu-Koita Electorate, and the NCD Election Manager wants the same for the other three NCD Electorates.
