Despite the orderly conduct of the elections in accordance with established guidelines, agreements, and training, the poll workers who dedicated their efforts remain unpaid. Nationwide, an average of ten citizens per district—totaling sixty-two districts—served as poll workers. These individuals carried out their duties diligently, despite exhaustion, challenging conditions, and occasional shortcomings, in compliance with the 2025 Electoral Decree. Remarkably, five months later, these citizens are still relying on assurances from the Minister and the Director of Internal Affairs. While it is claimed that the full payment lists have been prepared and submitted to the Ministry of Finance and Planning, the disbursement is contingent on available financial resources. These citizens performed a vital national service, ensuring the smooth execution of the voting and counting processes. Their responsibilities carried significant accountability, and many endured considerable hardships, including lengthy river journeys through the dense rainforest and inadequate accommodations alongside police and military personnel—all in the interest of democracy. Meanwhile, the new Assembly members were sworn in on June 29, 2025, followed by the inauguration of the President and Vice President on July 16, 2025. Subsequently, the ministers and deputy ministers of the Simons-Rusland cabinet were sworn in at the presidential palace. None of these constitutional steps would have been possible without the dedication of the poll workers. The sudden withdrawal of registered personnel had previously caused tense moments for the election organizers. The message of this article is clear: Financial settlements must be finalized by the end of October 2025, or at the latest, before November 25, 2025.
