To Affect the 2007 and 2008 Elections
That Went Unheeded
To Affect the 2007 and 2008 Elections
That Went Unheeded
The Cambodia Daily, November 21, 2006: "Unexpected Voter Statistics Raise Concern"
A total of 1,214, 250 new voters registered in October [2006] for the commune election in April [2007] – a number more than double the NEC's initial prediction (…). "Ghost voter" refers to names on voting lists of people who may not exist, have already died or do not live where they claim to live. Election monitors are concerned that individuals may use ghost names to vote, potentially swinging the outcome of the election."
The Cambodia Daily, November 10, 2006: "Ghost Voters Pose Elusive Problem in Elections"
Election monitors voiced concern this week that there may be hundreds of thousands of ghost voters registered to participate in April [2007]'s commune elections (…). A ghost voter rate of 10 percent is far higher than the standard margin of error. This has prompted concerns that the voting list may have been tampered with on a large scale.
Phnom Penh Post, October 6-19, 2006: "Rainsy sees the Devil in the details of NEC's rules"
Voter cards were by far the most commonly used documents until the last elections in 2003 (…). Suppressing these voter cards under the present conditions, with so little preparation, and adopting new procedures for registering and voting create confusion that tends to exclude many non-CPP members from the election process.
Only those who are registered as CPP members receive adequate information, assistance and facilities to ensure that they will be able to cast their ballots on Voting Day. This is attributable to the fact that virtually all the state officials who deal with potential voters (village chiefs, commune chiefs, commune clerks, police officers and election officials) are affiliated with the CPP or are not in a position to disobey the CPP (…).
The NEC's initiative actually creates an unnecessary, untimely and unfair hurdle for millions of potential voters, especially those who are not affiliated with the CPP, as evidenced by countless reports from independent sources about the resulting confusion that prevails throughout the country (…).
Many observers are not inclined to follow the technicalities of the new registering and voting procedures, which appear to be full of boring details. But in many cases, such as election preparations, the Devil is in the details.
Phnom Penh Post, September 8-20, 2006: "Rainsy predicts disenfranchisement of non-CPP voters"
"The National Election Committee (NEC) has initiated changes in the voter registration process (…) that could have far-reaching consequences (…). The NEC is creating unnecessary and untimely work and procedures for people, most of whom are unable to do it (…). The NEC's initiative could practically end up depriving millions of citizens of their voting rights. The victims will be mainly non-CPP members because all CPP members are identified as such by their village chiefs and will receive in time (…) related information, assistance and facilities to do the work imposed by the NEC. Most of those who do not support the ruling CPP will be left in the dark (…). Many international observers do not realize that the results of the 2007 and 2007 elections are largely being decided now through a biased registration process."
The Cambodia Daily, August 30, 2006: "Rainsy: Process Changes Predetermine Elections"
"The National Election Committee's changes to the voter registration process are deciding the outcomes of the 2007 commune and 2008 national elections before they have had a chance to take place (…). Many international observers do not realize that the results of the 2007 and 2008 elections are largely being decided now through the registration process."
Phnom Penh Post, August 11-24, 2006: "Rainsy blasts voter registration"
"Sam Rainsy (…) is blasting (the NEC's) month-long campaign to compile voter lists as a 'vicious scheme.' It's a big plot being implemented in order to deprive up to two million potential voters of their rights (…). The NEC is independent on paper, but in fact they are doing what the CPP asks them to do."

Get a life, you Super Retarded Party (SRP)!
Come on SRP!! You'll fine in the long run. Don't give up here fight for the fairness for people and I can tell you people are really fed up with the CPP's leadership. Yeah they want a life a better life.
I'm sure to tell you that you will win the election by next election and CPP's leadership must to change in the name of reform if it is survive even in this term. It is now in deep shit of internal protests and deep shit of playing the border's game with Siam. You'll sure to win!!
Anyone listened to the absent-minded Khiev Kan.. the information mister talking about Siam encroachment. That old man better retired guess he is experienced, but he must set up path for next generation capable leaders now!!! I can't believe he poorly anticipated that if Cambodia goes to UN, UN will only advice for Cambodia to continue the negotiation and seek the solutions from peaceful talks. And UN will intervene only when Siam's soldiers invade into the SOIL OF CAMBODIA. HOW ABOUT THE MILITARY'S STANDOFF BETWEEN CAMBODIA AND THAILAND? AREN'T SIAM'S SOLDIERS ON CAMBODIA SOIL???? ARE THOSE THAI SOLDIERS COWS OR HORSES GUARDING THE TEMPLE AND THE AREA FOR CAMBODIA???? And the govt. will call the areas the white, no-man zones. More and more no-man zones and sign more supplemental treaties to cede land to neigboring countries?????Why???
I can't believe all these OFFICIALS ARE SO DUMMY VERY FOOLISH AND GOOD ONLY BARKING NONSENSE AND SUPPRESSING OWN BLOOD PEOPLE!!!!!
A Char
I am sure that everything would have been free and fair if the SRP had won the election, but too bad, they didn't.
