Phnom Penh , August 14, 2007Voter List Cleaning Irregularities
From August 2-7, NEC released the names of voters slated for elimination from the voter list. Upon examination of these names, SRP discovered many irregularities caused by village chiefs who did not properly follow the NEC's instructions.
Among these irregularities are:
These irregularities are happening all over the country. Only one week after the publication of the names to be deleted, SRP found many irregularities. The party will regularly publish the cases it discovers.
SRP requests that the NEC take urgent action to solve this problem so that all eligible voters can be guaranteed that their names will not be unjustly deleted. At the same time, SRP requests that the NEC take action to punish those village chiefs who do not properly follow the instructions from NEC.
It is an act of discrimination to wrongfully declare a person dead or insane and to renounce the right to vote.
If NEC ignores this request and does not take any action to rectify the problem in time, it could mean that they are operating with an intention to illegally use electoral technicalities for the benefit of the ruling party.

not surprise by the claims. There we go again.....when you have a body that is not independent like NEC, how could you expect the rules to apply fairly for all? The moron in NEC they have no intention to see Cambodia prosper and decide its own fate.....you fucken idiots will see your day in hell....i promise you that.
The rule of crooked politics is this. If you can't beat them, disenfranchise the voters. The CPP knows the SRP is a real threat, so instead of talking issues, they cut out the voter themselves.
