Fiji the electoral system does not give equal voting rights to all

Explanation:

  • Fiji's electoral system does not meet the fairness of the electoral system. Criteria such as legitimacy, accountability/answerability  of elected representatives with regard to their actions, the system of simplicity, system that promotes neutrality, the system of acceptability, among others are not met
  • Fiji's electoral system also does not meet the need for an electoral system which bridges the ethnic differences instead of exacerbating  them. This is not regarded as reasonable and fair. The representation of Fiji's diversity is defined by race  and its effect is distorted in consequence. In Fiji the vote of indigenous Fijians are of more value than non-indigenous Fijians
  • After two military assaults in 1987, Fijian ethnic-nationalists who opposed authorizing non-indigenous voters to vote for Fijian indigenous members led to the National constituencies being abolished.
  • The suffrage is also not equal since there is a huge disparity between the vote values in different constituencies. Besides, there has been high numbers of invalid ballots in all of the elections since the year 1999, which is unacceptable
  • For example, the National Federation Party's failure  to win even a single Parliamentary seat in spite of getting considerable electoral support in 3 consecutive elections is definetly not a fair outcome
  • The legitimacy of Fiji's electoral system is  a suspect with regard to human rights which has tainted the present electoral system  as electoral outcomes are not trustworthy to exact proper accountability or offer  fair and genuine guidance on the related mandate that the govt implements
