Create system to vote freely, fairly in PNG

Letters

YESTERDAY at Ward 5, East Boroko, Port Moresby North East, without intimidation, harassment and fear, I cast my vote safely, fairly, freely and without discourse but within-with an educated analysis.
My wife and I voted at East Boroko.
My elder daughter will vote along the Henao Drive at Ward 9, and that is where her name is.
Three of my voting age children will not vote as their names are not on the common roll.
In the General Election 2017, three of my children, my wife and I had our names on the common roll.
This time, despite household names collected by regulated officers of the State at my street for the GE22, inclusions and status quo list updating have disappeared to exist in the common rolls.
Something has happened. Someone knows why? The answer is out there.
I hope nationwide, in each ward, every individual eligible voting populace voted safely, fairly, freely and without intimidation, harassment and fear.
My conclusion from hearing what has transpired in the news, and on the ground updates, the GE22 could be the worst in the history of national general elections in the country.
First-past-the-post voting did work in the past but then it eroded away when the voting populace realised its weaknesses.
Preferential voting system did its best but it is very vulnerable because there is also no adjuvant and addendum system to support it to be more voter user friendly.
People and leaders voting will benefit from its short comings, surely it is happening.
The answer for an unequivocal electronic voting process and gargets development for the country now lies in an individual voting process where a ‘facial-and-fingerprint-identification, recognition and inclusion voting system’ is needed, and this system will eradicate the ‘crowd, mob, relocation, diversion, double, in the air, on the way to the polling site, and after polling transportation chaos voting manipulation that happens in the current voting process and system.
This new voting system will also destroy and eliminate the carnage that happens in the counting room.
The country needs this system.
It is doubtful the incoming government and electoral commission will establish this new voting system.
Right now, it won’t be a surprise if most are elected the clean way.
My grandparents and parents voted cleanly.
My parents and I voted cleanly.
My parents, my wife and I voted cleanly.
My parents, my wife, my children and I have realised the voting process isn’t the way it was.
Please let us create a system where my grandchildren will vote and the leaders voted in will represent the common core values of the people and not for themselves and their cronies.
Our real democracy is in the ‘intensive care unit’. Right now, we are a ‘banana democracy’.
Surely, we can resuscitate our beautiful Papua New Guinea and my Papua New Guinea.
