The official counts for Falealupo,  Palauli 1, Satupaitea and Fa'asalele'aga 3 have been moved to Wednesday's first session. They were scheduled to be counted on Tuesday afternoon.

Office of the Electoral Commissioner officials confirmed a tight schedule for the teams to conduct the special counts for the three constituencies.

Team five started the final counts for A'ana Alofi 1 on Tuesday morning, which was postponed from Monday and was unable to conduct the official count for Falealupo.

Team three is currently working on the final count for Gagaemauga No.2, and then will continue with Sagaga 3 later. They had to push back Palauli 1 for Wednesday morning.

Team seven are currently conducting the official count for Vaisigano 1, which is almost complete, and then they will move on to do the final count for A'ana Alofi 3. The official count for Fa'asalele'aga 3 has also been moved to the first session on Wednesday morning.

More than 50 scrutineers and members of committees were present at the operation centre on Tuesday to await their turn for their constituencies' official counts.

The number of constituencies that have been completed remains at 12 with five HRPP, five FAST and two independents.
