Voting for the Moresby North West By-Election began today and for the residents at Elevala/Lahara at Hanuabada so far has run smoothly.
Voters turned up early as 7am to cast their votes.
63 year old long time residence at Elevala village, Dika Ravini said for the past 40 years living in Hanuabada, he has not seen any change in the village but he is hoping and confident that the candidate that he has voted for will bring change to the village this time around.
He says he is only hoping to see the youths in the community go to school or find employment as they can usually cause nuisance and alcohol related trouble nowadays.
