However, none of the amended sections will affect any process or procedure related to the general elections in April.
The Samoa’s Electoral Commissioner, Faimalomatumua Matthew Lemisio confirmed this, yesterday (Monday).
Faimalomatumua said most of the amendments are in response to issues that surfaced in Court, during recent candidate eligibility petitions.
Close to 20 petitions were heard by the Supreme Court of Samoa following the closure of election candidate registrations in October last year.
