Welcome to random Wiki of the Day where we read the summary of a random Wikipedia page every day.
The random article for Friday, 12 November 2021 is Lau Taveuni Rotuma (Open Constituency, Fiji).
Lau Taveuni Rotuma Open is a former electoral division of Fiji, one of 25 open constituencies that were elected by universal suffrage (the remaining 46 seats, called communal constituencies, were allocated by ethnicity). Established by the 1997 Constitution, it came into being in 1999 and was used for the parliamentary elections of 1999, 2001, and 2006. The electorate covered the Lau Islands, Taveuni and some of its outliers including Rabi Island and Kioa, and the remote dependency of Rotuma.
The 2013 Constitution promulgated by the Military-backed interim government abolished all constituencies and established a form of proportional representation, with the entire country voting as a single electorate.
This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:17 UTC on Friday, 12 November 2021.
