LETTER | In the run-up to GE14, there were many instances of abuse of addresses.
| The Coalition for Clean and Fair Elections welcomes the public display of Draft Supplementary Electoral Roll for 1Q2019 for 14 days from April 30 to May 13, 2019 which contains 26,136 applications of new voters and 11,655 applications for change of voting constituencies in accordance with Regulation 13, Election Regulations 2002.
Even though the database format has been made available after GE14, the RDPT on display since 2017 does not contain sufficient data as compared to before. Important information such as addresses of voters are being left out, which render effective and efficient analysis impossible. The change in data format is unexplained and alleged by Merap as a measure to prevent effective and efficient detection of widespread electoral roll malpractice leading up to GE14.
Although Regulation 15 of the Elections Regulations 2002 allows for valid objections to be raised following the public display, the law has been abused by some. In 2017, a certain party made blanket objections based on the racial profile of those who applied to be voters.1. Implement a programme where credible stakeholders are admitted as accredited data analysts to be given access to the RDPT in database format and with detailed data such as addresses and source of registration.
