Constituencies are very small and relatively small movements result i n an elector crossing the constituency boundary. I do not want to interpret the Act so strictly that I would disenfranchise virtually every elector from ever voting in an Election. Plainly, Parliament could not have intended that. Having said that, I am eq u ally careful to assess that where a person thinks they reside is not to be determinative. It may be a relevant factor, but an emotional attachment to a particular house does not mean that is where one resides. Ultimately, it comes down to an assessment of what the facts show. If the elector's choice of residence happens to coincide with the facts then that means we can identify where the person resides for the purposes of the Act. I now make that assessment in relation to the four challenged electors. \par }\pard \s49\ql \li0\ri0\nowidctlpar\aspalpha\aspnum\faauto\adjustright\rin0\lin0\itap0\pararsid2191456 {\f0\lang2057\langfe5129\langnp2057\insrsid2191456\charrsid6320461 \par }\pard \s49\ql \li0\ri0\nowidctlpar\aspalpha\aspnum\faauto\adjustright\rin0\lin0\itap0\pararsid931110 {\b\f0\lang2057\langfe5129\langnp2057\insrsid931110\charrsid6320461 Rima Mata \par }{\b\f0\lang2057\langfe5129\langnp2057\insrsid2191456\charrsid6320461 \par {\listtext\pard\plain\s49 \lang2057\langfe5129\langnp2057\langfenp5129\insrsid931110\charrsid6320461 \hich\af0\dbch\af0\loch\f0 [15]\tab}}\pard \s49\ql \li0\ri0\nowidctlpar\aspalpha\aspnum\faauto\ls1\adjustright\rin0\lin0\itap0\pararsid931110 { \f0\lang2057\langfe5129\langnp2057\insrsid931110\charrsid6320461 It was alleged that Ms\~Mata lived with her boyfriend at Amuri and so should not have voted in Vaipae/Tautu.

If the first meeting occurred in June, which I have found it did, it seems highly unlikely that there would have been an active canvassing for votes at that point because, although it was known there would be a General Election, no date had been set and Mr\~ Ioane's nomination as a candidate certainly had not been approved by the Committee of the CIP, or even announced.
