Election activist Jerry Enriquez has penned another Freedom of Information request - this time he's asking the government for information on the re-districting exercise. He told us what's behind this latest FOIA request:
Jerry Enriquez, Election Activist
"Yesterday I submitted a freedom of information request to the elections and boundaries basically to update or to provide some information as to the status of the redistricting process. The Prime Minister had promised that this would be done by the end of 2025, if not the end of 2026, so we're midway of 2026, and we're not hearing anything about the progress of the redistricting from the elections and boundaries Commission and people have a right to transparency, and people have a right to know what's going on. How far have they reach? When is the timeline? What is the process like? What kind of mapping information are they using? All of those kinds of information we need to know, and the people need to be along with the process. So this work, they're working in secrecy and I don't think that is fair. I don't think it is. Right."

"And do you at this stage, still give the government the benefit of the doubt that they will get the redistricting done within, by the end of this year?"
Jerry Enriquez, Election Activist
"Well, listen, we've been in and out of court for various issues that could have been avoided had the government just follow the Constitution and this matter and all the court costs that are being, the people's money being used for court cases to fight against the people's rights to a fair and constitutional, the divided and the electoral divisions, we cannot continue."
