Sāmoa 2025 Election: Electoral Commisioner on voting process

Sāmoa’s snap election, influenced by political and social divides, has seen the Electoral Commissioner Tuiafelolo Toleafoa Alex Stanley report that his office is “well ahead of schedule” in its preparations.

At the close of voter registration on 4 July, a total of 101,981 voters were confirmed across 51 electoral districts, but only 50 districts will participate in the polls. The Faleata II seat in Upolu will not take part after pre-election court challenges disqualified two of its three candidates, leaving the remaining nominee automatically elected as the first legislator confirmed for the 18th Parliament.

In a sit down interview with PMN's Renate Rivers, Stanley highlights the importance of secrecy at the voting ballot, anticipated voter turnout and the mood of the electorate.
