  • 2018 Fiji Election Results: Patterns of Voting by Provinces, Rural-Urban Localities, and by Candidates
    The Journal of Pacific Studies, Volume 40 Issue 2, 2020 55 2018 Fiji Election Results: Patterns of Voting by Provinces, Rural-Urban Localities, and by Candidates https://doi.org/10.33318/jpacs.2020.40(2)-3 Haruo Nakagawa1 Abstract Akin to the previous, 2014 event, with no data on voter ethnicity, no exit polls, and few post-election analyses, the 2018 Fiji election results remain something of a mystery despite the fact that there had been a significant swing in voting in favour of Opposition political parties. There have been several studies about the election results, but most of them have been done without much quantitative analyses. This study examines voting patterns of Fiji’s 2018 election by provinces, and rural-urban localities, as well as by candidates, and also compares the 2018 and 2014 elections by spending a substantial time classifying officially released data by polling stations and individual candidates. Some of the data are then further aggregated according to the political parties to which those candidates belonged. The current electoral system in Fiji is a version of a proportional system, but its use is rare and this study will provide an interesting case study of the Open List Proportional System. At the end of the analyses, this study considers possible reasons for the swing in favour of the Opposition. Keywords: 2018 Fiji Election Results; Ethnic Vote; Rural Vote; Urban Vote; Voting Patterns 1 Fellow, School of Government, Development & International Affairs, The University of the South Pacific, email: [email protected] 56 The Journal of Pacific Studies, Volume 40 Issue 2, 2020 Introduction The Fiji general election of 2018 was the second held under the Open List Proportional (OLPR) electoral system, with a single, nation-wide constituency introduced by the 2013 Republic of Fiji Constitution, which supposedly discourages race- or region-based political parties.
