The Election Commission (EC) had completely or partially deserted 6 of 10 halt electoral reforms proposed last year by a parliamentary select committee (PSC).
This has lifted doubts as to whether a six-month bid of a PSC in putting together itsfinal reportwill bring about significant changes to a electoral system.
This has lifted doubts as to whether a six-month bid of a PSC in putting together itsfinal reportwill bring about significant changes to a electoral system.The question is whether a EC will throw a full support during a back of a bipartisan committee's twenty-two recommendations which were presented to a Dewan Rakyat today.
In explaining why it had deserted a recommendations in a halt report, a EC had cited inherent as good as legal constraints, logistics as good as practicality.
According to a last report, a EC had recorded a objections to these recommendations:
1. Granting absentee voter standing to overseas Malaysians
The EC refused to expand a category of absentee electorate to all overseas Malaysians as good as concede them to vote early during Malaysian missions abroad due to logistics issues as good as practicality.
However, a EC suggested postal choosing by casting votes comforts be provided to them, theme to sure conditions which have been still being finalised. Two of these conditions have been which overseas adults have been purebred as electorate as good as have returned home during least once in a last 5 years.
2. Allowing outstation electorate to vote without having to lapse to their constituencies
The EC refused to exercise this in a next general election, but it agreed to further investigate a offer in propinquity to Article 119 of a sovereign constitution, which stipulates which an eligible voter must be a resident in his! or her choosing by casting votes constituency.
3. Application to shift choosing by casting votes address must be trustworthy with a orthodox declaration
This offer is to eliminate a problem of electorate using false addresses to shift their choosing by casting votes constituencies.
But a EC argued which it would be a burden to electorate because a orthodox declaration must be done in front of a commissioner of oaths, whose use is limited to sure areas.
4. Verification of a Sabah electoral roll
The PSC lifted this offer after it was purported which many controversial names were found in a roll.
However a EC deserted this as good as said it would focus upon efforts to clean up ! a elec toral hurl of Sabah with a assistance of a National Registration Department.
5. Abolish a RM10 objection fee
This offer aims to promote members of a open in raising objections to indeterminate names published in a supplementary electoral hurl draft. However, a EC's evidence is which it "is not a physique which can beget income".
6. Amend laws to concede objections to a master electoral roll
The EC disagrees with this.
The court lost a power to question a master electoral hurl when a supervision by Parliament added an ouster clause, Section 9A, to a Election Act 1958 in 2002. This was done after a High Court declared a Likas by-election outcome null as good as blank due to 4,197 controversial names in a electoral roll.
