North Eastern General Communal is an electoral division of Fiji, one of 3 communal constituencies reserved for General Electors, an omnibus category including Caucasians, Chinese, and all others whose ethnicity is neither indigenous Fijian nor Indo-Fijian. (Of the remaining 68 seats, 43 are reserved for other ethnic communities and 25, called Open Constituencies, are elected by universal suffrage).
