Nasinu Urban Fijian Communal is an electoral division of Fiji, one of 23 communal constituencies reserved for indigenous Fijians.

Election results

In the following tables, the primary vote refers to first-preference votes cast. The final vote refers to the final tally after votes for low-polling candidates have been progressively redistributed to other candidates according to pre-arranged electoral agreements (see electoral fusion), which may be customized by the voters (see instant run-off voting).

In the 2001 election, Emasi Qovu won with more than 50 percent of the primary vote; therefore, there was no redistribution of preferences.
