The 2027 National General Elections will open the next chapter for Rigo District. The community roll must be verified, candidates must sign the covenant, and DDA acquittal demands must be filed — before writs are issued. Every week of delay is a ward unverified, a vote uncounted, a promise unaccountable.

Know Your Rights
Your rights on polling day, how preferential voting works, how to check your enrollment, and what to do if something is wrong. Read the answers below — or ask any question.

Good day. Ask me anything about the 2027 election — your rights, how to enroll, how preferential voting works, or what to do if your name is missing from the roll. You can ask in English or Tok Pisin.
How Preferential Voting Works — Step by Step
1
You vote for up to 3 candidates
Write 1 next to your first choice, 2 next to your second choice, 3 next to your third choice. You do not have to use all three — but using all three gives your vote maximum strength.
2
Counting eliminates candidates one by one
The candidate with the fewest votes is eliminated first. Their ballots move to whichever candidate was marked 2nd on each ballot. This continues until one candidate has more than half the remaining votes.
3
Your vote is never wasted
Even if your first-choice candidate is eliminated, your vote moves to your second choice. Your voice continues to count through every round of counting.
★
The 2027 Rigo Strategy
If two strong candidates both sign the Rigo Candidate Covenant and agree to exchange second preferences — voters for Candidate A put Candidate B as 2nd, and vice versa — then when the lower-placed candidate is eliminated, their votes flow to the other. This mathematically breaks the split-vote pattern that has repeatedly returned the same incumbent.
How to Enroll — Step by Step
The enrollment deadline for 2027 has not been officially announced. Do not wait. Enroll now. The Electoral Commission typically closes the roll 4 months before election day.
1
Find your Ward Recorder
Your Ward Recorder is the government-appointed person responsible for your ward's common roll. They are your first point of contact for enrollment. Check the Ward Recorder Directory tab on this page, or contact the Rigo DDA or PNGEC if you do not know who yours is.
2
Gather proof of identity
Birth certificate, baptism certificate, or a statutory declaration witnessed by a Village Court Magistrate, Community Leader, or other recognised authority. You do not need a passport or national ID.
3
Complete the enrollment claim form
Your Ward Recorder provides the enrollment claim form. Complete it accurately. Your ward, LLG, and district must be correct — this determines which candidates you vote for.
4
Follow up to confirm
Ask your Ward Recorder to confirm your name appears on the roll update. Do not assume it was processed. Follow up 4–6 weeks after submitting. If you have a phone, call PNGEC on (675) 327 7441 to verify.
!
If your Ward Recorder is unresponsive
Contact PNGEC directly. Report the Ward Recorder's inaction on this platform using the Roll Anomaly form. A Ward Recorder who fails to process eligible voters is failing their legal duty — and that failure is a reportable matter to PNGEC and potentially to ICAC.

SABL Threats — Central Province
🔴
Portion 2465C — 450 Hectares — Port Moresby Area
Declared improper and unlawful by the 2013 Commission of Inquiry. Obtained through misrepresentation and fraud. NEC cancelled all SABLs 2014. O'Neill confirmed cancellation 2016. Despite this, Konekaru Holdings filed eviction proceedings in March 2019 using the condemned lease against customary landowners. Status: under legal challenge. This case proves a government-cancelled SABL can still be weaponised. Document your ILG boundaries now.
⚠️
60–70 SABL Files Stolen from DLPP
Between 60 and 70 SABL case files were stolen from the Department of Lands and Physical Planning. Perpetrators not publicly identified. TANO's Evidence Vault provides a community-held backup that cannot be stolen from a government office.
The Customary Land Tenure Act 2026 (passed unanimously, March 2026) — architected by Hiri-Koiari MP Keith Iduhu — provides new legal pathways to challenge SABLs. Use the Help panel to understand your options.
Register Your ILG
Permanent · Cryptographically Verified
Once submitted, your ILG record is cryptographically sealed. This is a community-held backup — it does not replace formal ILG registration with the government but ensures your records cannot be stolen, altered, or denied.

PM Marape retained him as Chair despite having votes to replace him. His Act is the legal foundation for every ILG challenge and SABL cancellation in Central Province.

Obligations (pending signature)
—
Publish development plan within 90 days of election
Two-covenant preferential model: if both Gure and Elemi sign and agree to direct second preferences toward whichever of the two leads after first count, the split-vote mathematics that twice delivered the seat to Pala is resolved.
Turai Elemi
2022 NAP candidate · Led first-preference count at one stage · 4,573 votes · Probable 2027 candidate
Covenant not yet offered
Led the first-preference count in 2022 with 4,573 votes. The two-covenant model with Gure makes the mathematics work. The Association facilitates — it does not choose between them.
The Five Obligations
What Every Signatory Commits To
1
Development Plan — 90 days
Publish a Rigo District Development Plan within ninety days of election, with specific measurable commitments for each LLG area.
2
Quarterly Public Briefings
Quarterly accountability briefings open to all Rigo District community members, administered by the Rigo Association.
3
Annual DDA Acquittals Published
File and publicly release Rigo DDA financial acquittals within sixty days of each financial year close.
4
Community Consultations
Minimum two community consultation meetings per year in Rigo District.
5
Respond to Accountability Queries
Written responses to any formal accountability query from the Rigo Association within thirty working days.
The covenant is grounded in the standard publicly established by Rigo's own former MP Galeva Kwarara, who served three consecutive terms (1977–1992) and resigned from the Finance Ministry in 1988 rather than participate in conduct he considered improper. The agreement asks no more and no less than what that standard demands.
Module 06 — Document Demands

Module 08 — Evidence Vault
Evidence Vault
Upload your documents for permanent, tamper-proof storage. Once sealed, no individual, government office, or future administration can alter or delete your record. ILG certificates, boundary maps, meeting minutes, demand letters — everything that matters belongs here.
Once you upload a document, a cryptographic fingerprint is generated from its content and stored permanently. If anyone ever claims the document was altered, the fingerprint proves it. Your documents cannot be stolen from this vault the way SABL files were stolen from the Department of Lands.
