New Dawn FM News
On the enrolment criteria for non-resident Bougainvilleans the JSB resolved that officials meet and consider issues related to the Organic Law and the need for possible amendments including constitutional regulations and associated legal matters to give effect to the operational conduct of the referendum.
The JSB also noted that joint consultations be undertaken with non-resident Bougainvillean communities and endorsed;
That the government of Papua New Guinea and the Autonomous Region of Bougainville, under section 55(1) of the Organic law on peace building in Bougainville agree on the links with Bougainville that a non-resident must have in order to vote in Referendum.
That is a person who is Bougainvillean as defined in Section 7(1) of the Bougainville Constitution and entitled to enrolment under section 52(1) of the Organic law on National and Local Level Elections for an electorate in Papua New Guinea outside the Autonomous Region of Bougainville.
Notice of these criteria is to be published in the Gazettes of the Government of Papua New Guinea and the Autonomous Bougainville Government.
