ORGANIZED CHAOS AT TODAY’S COMMUNE ELECTIONS /
KEY ISSUES OBSERVERS MUST FOCUS ON
Independent Observers Must Be Aware of the Ruling Party’s Evolving Tactics
Cambodia’s commune elections today risk falling victim to chaos organized by the CPP unless independent observers appreciate the increasingly sophisticated methods used by the ruling party to distort the will of the electorate.
The CPP, in power since 1979, has long experience of effectively fixing elections while ensuring a veneer of virtual compliance. The tactics that they are using today include the following:
1. Changing the location of polling stations at the last minute. Voters who can be counted on to vote for the CPP will be warned of the change in advance; supporters of the opposition Sam Rainsy Party (SRP) and other parties won’t be told where to go. Opposition voters will find it hard to work out where to cast their votes. This is designed to maximise the influence of CPP-appointed village chiefs who will organise the ferrying of CPP voters to the polling stations. The trick is cunning as, on the surface, taking one’s supporters to the polls is a legitimate tactic commonly used in western elections. Observers must not be deceived.
2. A variation on this theme is to leave the polling station in its original location but to transfer voters identified as supporting the opposition to different voting stations, with the prior name transfers being made only yesterday. Non-CPP voters who in some cases have made long and costly journeys will actually be deterred from casting their ballots.
3. The CPP will make use of its bottomless supply of ghost voters’ names to manufacture extra votes. These ghost identities will be systematically distributed – through fraudulently and massively issued “Statements of Identity” – to countless illegitimate voters such as people under 18 (the legal minimum age to vote), foreigners, migrants or passers-by with no legal voting right. These people will be paid or manipulated by CPP local authorities to vote for the ruling party.
4. The CPP will intimidate, threaten and/or try to buy party agents from the SRP, the only opposition party to have trained and posted party agents/observers at every polling station throughout the country. With the possible “neutralisation” of opposition party agents at any of the 18,107 polling stations all over Cambodia, the CPP will just stuff the ballot box at the corresponding station, the maximum fraudulent votes being only the number of ghost voter’s names.
The above innovations will take place in the context of fear and intimidation to which voters in Cambodian elections are well accustomed.
The SRP, the largest opposition party in Cambodia, calls on independent observers to recognize the logistical complexity of the electoral fraud carried out by the CPP in its desperate attempts to hold on to its weakening national and international legitimacy.

Dear compatriots,
SRP is relatively better than the rest.
If you want Cambodia to survive this neocolonialist Vietnam, you need to vote for a credible party that is competent, honest, and courageous: Sam Rainsy Party.
If you want Cambodia to become a province of Vietnam, you vote for CPP.
If you want CPP to get stronger, you vote for the Human Right Party, because the HRP will indirectly and spontaneously strengthen the CPP.
The HRP's existence simply breaks the voice of SRP.
So, the HRP is naturally a Khmer divider from birth, born to break the voice of the democratic party and inadvertently serve the CPP and Vietnam.
Please pick your choice.
Who ta hell is AH PI ANH?
Most opposition parties included Mr Sam Rainsy and his party want to be fair treated, but first you have to be fair to all your oppositions and your own law.
You treat them like a real opposition and not you enemies, they will respect you as their opposition.
Bravo somdech decho hun sen......triumph to you.........failure to SRP.
You are a fool if you vote for SRP. Look at their members who could help cambodia? All are broke ass if they won they will eat up all the funds and make ppl suffer more. The blind cannot lead the blind. SRP members are blind politicians.

Opposition followers conduct themselves like a mad cow disease, all it does is undermine their own agenda. ScamSR followers ill intention will come back to bite them in the asses. Who the hell want to vote for Scamsrp? i don't think smart khmer would want to change leadership now. People now smarter than you all think, they all fear your fail agenda will bring politcal & economic stagnation. You all fuck up brain have to let go your extreme radical display toward your own goverment. Stop being so prejudice & paranoid ! long live CPP.Pi Anh.
Looks like his ass was pinched.
