The Fiji Labour Party is concerned that about 20 percent of eligible voters have not yet been registered, with the promised elections only nine months away.
According to official figures, the eligible voter population at 30th June stood at 628,000 of which 505,600 have been registered, leaving 122,400 to enrol.
The highest number of unregistered voters are in the provinces of Ba, Naitasiri, Macuata and Nadroga/Navosa.
The Labour leader Mahendra Chaudhry says the work of elections office staff has been hampered by the absence of a substantive supervisor of elections to take charge, and says staff morale is low due to uncertainties about their future.
