Voters in Papua New Guinea are crying foul after thousands of them were taken off the electoral roll as the country goes to the polls.
Opposition candidates accused the Government of doctoring the roll, while voting in some provinces has been postponed because of disputes or logistical failures.
Students at the University of Papua New Guinea (UPNG) — who protested against Prime Minister Peter O’Neill last year — said they were denied the chance to vote.
The university has roughly 5,000 students and several hundred staff, but on polling day they discovered there were only 1,300 people registered to vote there.
