OEC staff working with scrutineers at the Tuanaimato Election Control Centre

By Staff Writer

After weeks of highly intense general elections workload at the Tuanaimato Control Centre, the Electoral Commissioner and his staff are looking forward to recuperate in their brand new Mulinu’u Office.

The only catch that would keep them away is if the finishing touches to the new building are not completed.

“We still have our space at the DBS Building and the SNPF Plaza to move back to until our new office building is ready for us to return to at Mulinu’u,” Commissioner Faimalomatumua Mathew Lemisio said.

The Tuanaimato multi-purpose gymnasium has been the OEC office for the past few weeks leading up to the general elections a week ago last Friday.

For Commissioner Faimalomatumua and his staff of about 40 men and women it was also home for the past 2-weeks.

“Sleeping quarters was a matter of personal choice wherever inside the building that makes you comfortable,” an OEC staff quipped when asked about their ‘home away from home.’

 The last day of work was last Friday at the end of the official election count of all the 48 electoral constituencies that were contested on Polling Day.
