The Election Division focuses on improving Election for both the Central and Local Governments so that every I-Kiribati voice is heard. This includes the election of the President, Members of Parliament, Mayors and Councilors. The objective of an election is to ensure fair representation and to allow citizens to exercise their right to have a say in the leadership and governance of their society. Elections serve several important objectives such as Representation whereby Elections allow citizens to choose their representatives to make decisions and create policies that reflect their interests, values, and needs. Overall, the objective of an election is to uphold democratic principles, ensure fair representation, and provide a mechanism for citizens to participate in shaping the governance of their society. Hence, the Election Division plays a critical role in determining not only the political arena, but also the economic; environmental; health and social cultural aspects of Kiribati citizens’ life for now and the future.
