“In early 2019 the Vanuatu Electoral Office (VEO) joined hands with the department of Civil Registry and Vital Statistics and launched a massive campaign called Civil and Voter Registration (CVR). In seven months the CVR teams visited all the six provinces and the 72 area council areas from June 2019 to January 2020.
