General elections were held in Papua New Guinea from 23 June until around 13 July 2012,[1] after being postponed by a further week to allow for security personnel to crisscross the country, particularly the highland provinces.[2][3] The elections followed controversy over incomplete electoral rolls and a constitutional crisis caused by a dispute over the office of prime minister between Michael Somare and Peter O'Neill.
