King Tupou VI has issued the Writs of Election, confirming the election which was brought forward a year after last month's dissolution of parliament.
The Supervisor of Elections, Pita Vuki, said the next step would be the nomination of candidates to be held on September 27 and 28.
"At least 50 persons from each constitutency will have to nominate a candidate. All of them will have to be registered voters in their respective consitituencies.
"There are fees of 400 pa'anga also accompanied by a clearance letter from [the] courts."
