Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea – Awareness-building of the Motukoita Assembly Act and Gauging Views on an ID/Accreditation System for Voting

Implemented by Ms. Kori Toua-Navuru

Kori’s project aims to develop and implement an awareness-building program of the Motukoita Assembly Act and gauge views on an ID/Accreditation Voting System for Women in the Western Region of the Motukoita Assembly.

This project’s objectives include:

1. Encouraging a greater understanding on how the Motukoita Assembly Act can assist in improving the livelihoods of the communities’ women.
2. Improving and/or increasing the voting participation of women through the ID/Accreditation system
3. Eradicate the double-voting that has been experienced during elections, with a new system of ID for voters

 
Kori has undertaken this project with a view to seek acknowledgement by the Electoral Commission of Papua New Guinea for her awareness building and ID accreditation campaign, so that it may be implemented in conjunction with the Electoral Commission’s scheduled electoral awareness campaigns, run prior to general and local level government elections.

So far, Kori has completed three of six sessions for her Motukoita Assembly Act awareness program and ID/Accreditation discussion with the women of the Motukoita region.
