Hang Puthea is the executive director of the Neutral and Impartial Committee for Free and Fair Elections in Cambodia.
His group has monitored Cambodian elections since 1998, and this year plans to deploy 700 observers throughout the country, Hang Puthea said Monday, as a guest on "Hello VOA."
He has also scheduled, with UNDP funds, to train village chiefs in election procedures.
Meanwhile, the NEC was preparing to do its work for the election, he said.
Legally, the NEC must be independent, but the national committee's political tendencies should be judged by the people, he said.
What's interesting, he added, is that so many people choose to exercise their right to vote.

This is a good example of a twisted fact: Voting is not a genuine Khmer desire. We were deceived by traitors to do this.
It's good that people choose to exercise their rights by coming out to vote in parliment election.
Well then tell that to Ah Khmer-US. We don't need that crap.
