2027 PNG National General Elections: Tracking the Progress

The 2022 PNG National General Elections saw unprecedented confusion and chaos, indicating a total lack of preparation and incompetency in running a national election. Here are the updates on the 2027 PNG National General Elections based on the 2022 election dates.

Fixed Dates for the 2027 Elections

Section 105 of the Constitution provides for the fixed dates for the national elections to be held within three months of the 5th anniversary of the date fixed for the return of writs.

As the 2022 elections had their writs returned on the 29th of July, the 2027 elections should take place within three months of this date. 

Therefore, the fixed date for the 2027 PNG National General Elections will be the 29th of October 2027.

Preparations for the 2027 Elections

The 2022 PNG National General Elections were marked by confusion and chaos, highlighting the need for better preparation and planning for the 2027 elections. 

The Papua New Guinea Electoral Commission (PNG EC) must ensure timely preparations to avoid any delays, postponements, or unconstitutional actions.

Counting Updates

The counting of votes is a critical part of the electoral process, and the PNG EC must ensure that the counting is done efficiently and accurately. 

It is expected that the PNG EC will provide regular updates on the counting process, just as it did during the 2022 elections.

Polling Updates

The polling process needs significant improvements to avoid confusion and chaos in the 2027 elections. 

The PNG EC must ensure that all polling materials and personnel are ready before the polling date. 

In addition, the PNG EC should provide timely updates and communicate effectively with the public on any changes to the polling dates or locations.

Conclusion

The 2022 PNG National General Elections were marred by confusion and chaos, highlighting the need for better preparation, planning, and execution for the 2027 elections. 

The PNG EC must ensure that the electoral process is transparent, efficient, and constitutional, to uphold the integrity of the elections and democracy in Papua New Guinea.

Why Use Twitter Advanced Search Filters?

Many Twitter users are finding Twitter searches to be relevant and up-to-date. Others are using it for Twitter Keyword Analysis. In fact, Twitter is seen as a go-to place to search for trending topics, #hashtags and images and videos for personal and business uses. For example, businesses are using it to get an idea about what is hot in their niche markets.

Smartphone users can set search filters by location, search cookies and preferences. There are two things a Twitter user can do to enhance Twitter Search Queries on mobile phones:

1. Search by keyword or hashtag using the search button, and arrange by latest tweet to see the tweets by date; and

2. Use the Twitter Advanced Search gear button (⛭ ) to bring in Tweets relevant to your location and preference.

Below are some tips to use the Twitter Search By Date, hashtag, and how to personalise the popular trends. Perhaps it is important to remind readers that the basic search features are available on the Twitter mobile app. But, the Twitter Advanced Search Filters are only available on the Web app.

How to Search Media - Images and Videos

Twitter users can also search for images or videos. Enter the search keyword/hashtag and run the query.  Click on 'Photo' or Video' to generate the media file you are looking for. If you are searching for a Twitter account, click on 'People'.

Reverse Image Search Google

Google reverse image search, commonly called Google Search by Image, is Google's online search service that allows a user to search for images using an image  (or its URL) as the starting point, instead of using a search keyword or spoken search query.

Here is what Google said about its Reverse Image Search facility...

"You can learn more about an image or the objects around you with a reverse image search. For example, you can take a photo of a plant and use it to search for info or other similar images."

 

How to use Reverse Image Search Twitter Images

Twitter users can use the Image ( or its URL) from a Twitter post and search the image on Google's image search. This helps users to find more information about the image. 

It is also a good way to identify image duplicates and take action if you think your images have been used without your approval. 

If you need any help, leave a message in the comment section and let us know what you think. Here is a post about someone stealing our content (text duplicate) that we address through the Google DMCA complaint file. You can also do the same for images. 

Twitter Searches You Should Know

We discussed Twitter searches and feeds that we thought are useful. Perhaps it is important to know that Twitter does not have checkers for searching by ''date'' or ''location''. 

But, the inbuilt features, we mentioned in this article, make it possible for users to either search Twitter or filter feeds and personalise their Twitter timelines.

Twitter has now created Advanced Search Filters for its users. Let us know in the comment if you think Twitter should have an 'Edit' button for its 350 million (2020, source) users worldwide.
