To clarify: [TEXT] in quotes does *not* mean that "TEXT" wasn't pronounced. It just means that the quote was alterred from the literal original -- in this case, a capital H was changed to a small h and the sentence's position was grammatically changed, even though you wouldn't notice it without knowing the original sentence. It's not something I'm willing to revert over, though, if for some reason you don't like it. — Nightst a llion (?) 10:52, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
since the government of Fiji is being cagey about elections, can we reverse the redirect so this goes to Next Fijian general election and not so NFGE comes here? It doesn't look like there's going to be an election in 2009. plan 8 ( talk) 23:12, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
The last sentence in the lead section says:
I'm not sure what that's meant to refer to. (Particularly as it's unsourced.) In no sense were indigenous Fijians deprived of "fair rights" prior to this Constitution. On the contrary, it's the Indo-Fijian minority which, from the late 80s to the mid-2000s (and arguably even before that) was subject to suspicion, discriminatory measures, and (very occasionally) racial violence. The stated reason for the 2006 coup was to remove an indigenous supremacist government, and put an end to racial politics and discrimination. I'm consequently removing that part of the sentence.

The figures given by Election Fiji for invalid votes don't seem to add up. According to FBC, the Election Supervisor says that there were 3,714 invalid votes out of the 496,394 votes cast. However, the 496,394 figure is the total of the valid votes for parties. The invalid votes must be on top of this figure. If this is the case, the number of votes cast is actually 500,078, which means turnout was actually 84.60% (not 83.97%).
Have Elections Fiji just messed up basic mathematics, or am I missing something? Number 5 7 10:15, 24 September 2014 (UTC)
