The National Council of Building a Better Fiji said the new voting system that will replace the current preferential voting system will be very simple and easy to understand for the people of Fiji.
NCBBF member Lorine Tevi said the proposed open list system will now be looked at and plans are in place to ensure that it is implemented after consultations before the next elections.
Tailevu Provincial Council chairman and NCBBF member Josefa Serulagilagi also said the proposed system is the way to go for Fiji.
Interim Attorney General Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum said these recommendations to reform the electoral system will now be taken back to the people, their views will be taken into account and then a report on the recommended changes will be tabled in the proposed political forum in either July or August.
Ousted Opposition Leader Mick Beddoes said one must expect the steps taken by the National Council of Building a Better Fiji.
Beddoes said although NCBBF has put together their recommendations on the electoral reforms, he still maintains that Parliament should make the call, not an illegal regime.
