EC forms panel to improve voter registration, clean electoral roll

The Election Commission has set up a Voter Registration Improvement Policy Committee to address issues related to voter registration, chairperson Azhar Azizan Harun said today.

Azhar said that the committee, which he chairs, also includes EC secretary Mohamed Elias Abu Bakar, deputy secretary (operations) Irzaruddin Abang Alias, deputy secretary (strategic) Norzawatil Amali Alias, legal adviser Azizan Md Arshad and special duties officer Emillia Rosnizar Ahmad Hanipiah.

"The committee held its first meeting today, and discussed issues on improving and enhancing the accuracy of voter registration and the registration of new voters," he said.

Azhar noted that the committee, which is supported by a working committee of officers and led by the deputy secretary (operations), would improve all aspects of operations and work processes related to voter registration.

"I am very hopeful that the establishment of this committee will increase the accuracy of the electoral roll, and is one of the steps to reform the EC's services to enhance confidence and improve the image of the commission to the people," he said.

In increasing the accuracy of the electoral roll, Azhar said, the EC has removed the names of deceased voters and those who have lost their citizenship status.

“The EC will also verify the existence of a large number of voters at one address, and will also draw on other approaches and methods to increase the registration of new voters,” he said, adding that the EC had a series of meetings with the National Registration Department to find solutions to issues involving the department.

The EC in collaboration with NRD from Jan 1 to June 30, had removed 48,626 deceased voters and 1,208 voters who lost their citizenship status from the electoral roll.

"The clean-up exercise also included the removal of 486 deceased voters and 11 voters who lost their citizenship status in the Sungai Kandis, Seri Setia and Balakong by-elections, and also for the Port Dickson by-elections,” Azhar said.
