2006 Fiji House of Representatives elections

This was the third election held under the 1997 constitution, which established a House of Representatives made up of 71 members. The country was divided into 71 constituencies, each of which elected one member. Of these, 46 were communal seat constituencies in which a voter votesd only for candidates from his/her own ethnic community. The other 25 constituencies were open seats, in which the voter voted for candidates from any ethnic community. So a voter had two ballot papers in which to cast two votes - one to choose his or her communal seat representative and one to choose his/her open seat representative.

There were 6 urban Fijian communal constituencies of which each have about the same number of voters. Another 14 Fijian constituencies follow the provincial boundaries, while the provinces of Ba, Tailevu and Cakaudrove were divided into 2 constituencies each. Both the 19 Indian and 3 General Voter communal constituencies had been drawn up so that each had roughly an equal number of votes from that particular community. The Rotuman communal constituency covered the whole of Fiji. The 25 open seat constituencies had been drawn up in such a way that each has roughly the same number of voters, and each has a good proportion of people from the different ethnic communities.

Elections were held under the Alternative Vote system where voting was done by showing preferences. This meant putting each candidate in order - from the candidate most preferred to win as the 1st choice, to the candidate least preferred to win as the last choice. Voting for both the communal seat constituency and the open seat constituency was conducted in this way.

Under the Alternative Vote system a candidate only won when he or she has got more than half of all the votes in that constituency. In the first round of counting all of the 1st preference (1st choice) votes were counted. If one candidate had more than half of all the 1st preference votes. (i.e. if he or she is the first choice candidate of more than half of the voters) - then he or she was declared the winner straight away. If no candidate got more than half of the 1st preference votes, the least popular candidate, the one with the fewest 1st preference votes , was eliminated. This candidate’s ballot papers were then looked at again, and his or her votes were transferred to the candidates who were marked as the 2nd preference on each of these ballot papers. All of the votes were then counted again to see if any candidate now have enough to win.

If there is still no winner, then the candidate who now had the fewest votes was eliminated, and his or her votes were transferred to whichever candidate was next in the order of each voter’s preferences. This process of eliminating one candidate and transferring their votes was repeated until one candidate had more than half of all the votes and won

The election was held for a week between 6 May to 13 May 2006. Other relevant dates are:

2001 Fiji House of Representatives elections

This was the second election held under the 1997 constitution. The elections were between 25 August 2001 and 2 September 2001, fifteen months after rebel military personnel, led by George Speight, overthrew the government of Prime Minister, Mahendra Chaudhry. Speight and his gunmen stormed Parliament on 19 May 2000, taking the Prime Minster and most of his multi-racial cabinet hostage for 56 days. During the crisis, the military declared martial law and appointed Laisenia Qarase as caretaker Prime Minister.

The two major parties were the Soqosoqo Duavata Ni Lewenivanua / United Fiji Party (SDL) led by interim Prime Minister, Laisenia Qarase and the Fiji Labour Party (FLP) led by Mahendra Chaudhry. 18 parties fielded 351 cadidates for the 71 constituencies. International observers from the United Nations, the British Commonwealth and the European Union declared that the elections were free and fair. Nevertheless, the dismissed Prime Minister and leader of the Fiji Labour Party, Mahendra Chaudhry, alleged widespread vote-rigging.

Qarase's SDL won 31 seats at stake, while Chaudhry's FLP won 27. The nationalist Conservative Alliance/Matanitu Vanua (MV) of Speight emerged as holding the balance of power, as it won 7 seats. A coalition Government was sworn in on 12 September 2001 with Mr Qarase as Prime Minister. He included in his Cabinet members of the Conservative Alliance but excluded the ethnic Indian-dominated FLP.
