Samoan’s Electoral Commissioner , Tuiafelolo John Stanley revealed that they hope to begin their registration for the entire country before mid – next year.
Stanley also said that the project will be supported through the Australian government. He detailed the costs will be for the staff accommodation around the island country as the work entails traveling and visiting villages.
