Notes

  3. ^ a b The National Court declared the election of Chuave Open MP David Anggo to be void on 9 September 2005 due to electoral irregularities. Jim Nomane, the successful petitioner against Anggo, won the resulting by-election in August 2006.[8][9]

  5. ^ a b c d e f In August 2012, after serious problems with voting in the Southern Highlands Province, the Papua New Guinea Electoral Commission declared the 2012 election to have failed in six electorates: Southern Highlands Provincial, Koroba-Lake Kopiago Open, Tari-Pori Open, Kagua-Erave Open, Komo-Magarima Open and Imbonggu Open. A supplementary election was held in the six electorates between 26 April and 9 May 2003. The six elected members (David Basua, Balus Libe, Timothy Tala, Petrus Thomas, Tom Tomiape and Hami Yawari) were sworn in on 28 May 2003.[11][12][13]
  6. ^ a b Yangoru-Saussia Open MP Bernard Hagoria was dismissed from office in September 2003 after being found guilty of misappropriation by a leadership tribunal. Peter Waranaka won the resulting by-election in May 2004.[14][15]
  7. ^ a b Bougainville Provincial MP John Momis resigned in April 2005 to contest the inaugural Bougainville presidential election. Leo Hannett won the resulting by-election in January 2006.[16][17]

  10. ^ a b The National Court declared the election of Middle Ramu Open MP Ben Semri to be void on 17 March 2003 and declared runner-up Tommy Tomscoll to have been the duly elected MP. Tomscoll was sworn in as an MP in April, but Semri won a Supreme Court appeal later in the year and was ordered to be reinstated.[18][19][20]
  11. ^ a b National Capital District Provincial MP Bill Skate died on 3 January 2006. Wari Vele won the resulting by-election in July 2006.[21][22]

  13. ^ The National Court declared the election of Moresby North East Open MP Casper Wollom to be void on 30 April 2004. Wollom won the resulting by-election later in the year.[29][20]
  14. ^ Tewae-Siassi Open MP Mao Zeming was dismissed from office in May 2003 after being found guilty of misappropriation by a leadership tribunal. The seat remained vacant for the rest of the term, as by the time the National Court ruled on his final appeal in February 2006, it was too close to the 2007 election.[30][31]
