Full Details Of The Big

New Guinea Elections

The following are the full voting details of Papua-New Guinea’s first general election on a common roll. They deserve to be listed in full as an historical record.

THE number of electors enrolled is shown in brackets immediately below the name of each electorate.

Candidates who were members of the

final P-NG Legislative Council,

which sat last November, are marked with an asterisk. There is not such a member in each electorate, as boundaries for the House of Assembly elections were all new.

Europeans standing in open

electorates are marked with a t.

The candidates elected are printed in black.

Total enrolment for the Territory is 1,029,192.
