Rock the Vote Fiji has been referred to FICAC, not People’s Alliance Deputy Leader, Lynda Tabuya.
This has been highlighted by the Supervisor of Elections, Mohammed Saneem while responding to Tabuya’s statement yesterday.
Saneem says she is utterly confused and her statement is riddled with misinformation.
He says if anything, she has confirmed that she is the person behind this organization and if she is the person behind this organization, she should simply answer one of the 35 questions he has sent to her.
He has asked questions such as what is her affiliation with Rock the Vote, who planned their activities, how was she invited to the activities of this organization, did she pay them to exclusively invite her to its event and impress her presence on social media.
Saneem further says the Rock the Vote Facebook page had been taken down and considerable number of posts have now been deleted so it's not doing any civic duty, it's actually hiding evidence.
He says they have all the screenshots.
Saneem then shared several screenshots which shows members of the People's Alliance involved with activities organised by Rock the Vote.
He further says he has seen from a recent Facebook post, that a General Secretary of a particular party has been seen giving out a volleyball and net to a group of people.
The Supervisor says in the interest of free and fair election, all this needs to stop.
He says there are various attempts to mask this also and attempts to the extent that people are using third party organizations to do this, or people are using various excuses to say it's all justified in the course of the game.
Saneem says he is particularly disturbed about the manner in which the People's Alliance has been taking this because largely, he has seen most of their candidates are engaged in these actions and they are currently making some inquiries.

While responding to Tabuya’s comments on the FEO’s live press conference on Facebook where she accused him of playing judge, jury and executioner, Saneem says she should refer to the letter he has written to her where he says the FEO is dealing with a complaint from FijiFirst dated 20th September 2022 which has highlighted her involvement in certain activities that may be a breach of the Electoral Act.
He says in the letter, the FEO has also commenced an inquiry into some of the activities that have been highlighted and they require her to provide information to assist the inquiry.
He says they put her on notice that if the FEO find some of the activities that are subject of the enquiries have breached or are possible breaches of the Electoral Act and furnish a response by 4pm on 30th September.
