This comes as the Elections Supervisor Mohammed Saneem launched a voter awareness campaign at Suva's Civic Centre on Monday.
Mr Saneem says with the size of the block that is internet aware, the Elections Office would make use of social networks.
Electoral Commission chairman Chen Bunn Young says the awareness programme is important.
He says the Commission believes voter education is as important as the act of voting itself.
