As counting wraps up in the Solomon Islands the electoral commission is looking at trialing out of constituency voting.
With only a handful of seats in the 50-member parliament yet to be officially declared there is no outright winner.
But lobbying to form the country's next government is underway.
As of yesterday, the two largest blocs in the winner's circle, Independents and the incumbent prime minister Manasseh Sogavare's Our Party, were tied with 12 MPs each.
RNZ Pacific Editor Koroi Hawkins spoke with Chief Electoral Officer, Jasper Anisi, and asked him how he thought the country's first joint national election went.
