Original report from Phnom Penh
06 June 2008
The National Election Committee will reinstate more than 1,000 voter names for a single Phnom Penh commune, a large number of residents for one small area.
The committee decided to add the 1,138 onto the voter registry for July's national election, NEC Secretary-General Tep Nitha said, because the names were omitted by the "carelessness of the clerk and the Stung Meanchey commune council."
The NEC has faced criticism in the past over its decision to strike names from the voting lists. On Thursday, the governmental body issues 8 million controversial voter information cards that critics say could lead to voting bias for the ruling Cambodian People's Party.

Yuan NEC, not just in Phnom Penh, it was done unjystly mto over half a million voters all over the country. Make sure you reinstate them all, would you dare ?
If you have the gut, the CPP would stomp your head badly, as a black sheep.
Yeah, and Yuon does the same thing in the US too.
Cambodia has a population of 16 million, and 8 million are regestered voters ??? Concidering the fact that 60 % if the population is under 18 years old , unable to regester, and many over 18 do not have ID cards all theses figures just dont add up.
