General Electors' representation was reduced to 5 out of 71, but all were now elected on the closed roll, thereby increasing the influence of politicians responsible only to General Electors, whom the Fijian nationalists still saw as allies.
The reduced representation implemented by the 1990 and 1997 constitutions did not disadvantage General Electors as much as might appear, as the size of their electorate had itself been reduced by the separate provision for Rotumans since 1990, and for those multiracial citizens who so chose from 1994.
