Communication efforts, logistical preparations, and plans to ensure security and safety have been carried out thoroughly, enabling officials, soldiers and residents on the islands to understand the significance of the election and to uphold their civic rights and responsibilities.
The consultation process has followed legal procedures, with three rounds conducted in a democratic, rigorous and lawful manner. A detailed timeline for the early election has been developed, with close coordination between provincial authorities and the Naval Region 4 Command.
