Papua New Guinea: General Elections, Domestic Observation Report, The National Research Institute (2009)

This is an electoral observation report released by the National Research Institute of Papua New Guinea. In 2007, The seventh general elections were held in Papua New Guinea, and Sir Micheal Somare was re-elected Prime Minister. These elections were very important for the country because for the first time a new electoral system was introduced: the the new Limited Preferential Voting (LPV) system replaced the first-past-the-post (FPTP) system. For the first time domestic electoral observers were deployed in polling stations all around the country. The National Research Institute concluded that overall the 2007 elections were well-managed and peaceful, even though election fraud and malpractice continue to be an issue in some regions of the country.
