presented:
In total 62 (87.3%) of 71 registered electors voted in this ballot.
The certified result
FIG President Diane Dumashie thanked both associations for their
support to and interest in being the host of the FIG Working Week 2027
and for their engagement with FIG. The close result speaks for itself,
however the General Assembly has decided that FIG will be welcoming all
to Stavanger in Norway in 2027.
Thanks to both Nepal and Norway for their interesting bids.
A report on the General Assembly will be published soon together with
the minutes and a report on the FIG Working Week 2023.
