Elvis Lives in Papua New Guinea

While you probably all thought Vegas or Hollywood were the places to go if you want to see famous people, we're about to explain that it's really the remote mountain highlands in Papua New Guinea that you should be heading for. That's because not just Elvis, but a few others like Tom Jones and various kings and queens, are registered as living in PNG and ready to vote in the next election.

Confused? So were PNG government officials when they discovered that voter registration rates in five of the most remote provinces in PNG are well over 100%. That's when they checked the list and found, in fact, more than one Elvis Presley, and all the rest. Getting into this rugged countryside to confirm the list is proving difficult, so Elvis, if you are really alive, you're within your legal rights to rock up to vote in the next PNG election. And Elvis-spotting tours should head south.
