Koul Panha, executive director for the Committee for Free and Fair Elections, told "Hello VOA" listeners Monday that people unhappy with the results from this month's commune election should not be afraid to speak up.
He spoke on the eve of the official results announcement for April 1 commune elections.
Three callers asked about the complexity of voting registration and other irregularities, saying they would like to see things simplified in the future.
One caller suggested vote-counting be done in villages, not far away, for people to have stronger belief in the votes.
Another said he and his wife and been unable to vote because their names were entered wrongly on registration lists. He said he hoped the 2008 elections would make it easier to vote.
Koul Panha told listeners that irregularities and complex procedures had prevented as many as 18 percent of registered voters from casting their ballots.

I'm telling you, it's ah hun sen again manipulating the election backing up their vietnamese supporter, shame shame, stand up for yourself ah hun sen, don't you see your own country falling apart, oh i forgot you only got 1 eye.
I agree with the caller. Voting
should be as easy as eating a
mango or banana. Also, we should
have a roulette wheel to help
people make their choice, in case
they don't know who to pick. Of
course this roulette wheel should
have CPP in between every
opposition to keep them from
killing each other.
