The Solomon Islands police commissioner Matthew Varley says he is confident his officers are well prepared for the election this year.
It is the first since the departure in 2017 of RAMSI, a regional intervention force that was brought into Solomon Islands in 2003 to restore peace and rebuild the country after a bloody ethnic conflict at the turn of the century.
Mr Varley told Koroi Hawkins he was aware that the April 3 election was an historic one for the country and planning and preparation for it had been going on for over a year now.
