Voting in the Usino-Bundi Gama by-election is moving forward, with polling teams reaching remote areas by helicopter and dinghy. Despite a few small issues, the Electoral Commission and police are working together to keep the process peaceful and fair. One argument between candidates was quickly handled by police. In places like Danagar and Banu, people have already voted. Their ballot boxes are now locked inside the Walium police station, as no proper storage containers were available. Police are still doing their job even though they haven’t received their allowances yet. Extra security teams from Lae are on the ground to help. Madang Police Commander, Acting Superintendent Robert Baim, warned everyone to respect the process. “Anyone who tries to cause trouble or scare voters will be arrested,” he said. “Let the people vote freely and without fear.”
