Election Commission Should Prove Its Credibility

EC chairperson Abdul Aziz Mohd Yusofclaims a Selangor government's electorate review practice is insincere, finished with a bulletin of discrediting a EC by labelling genuine electorate as indeterminate voters.


PKR secretary-general Saifuddin Nasution had alleged which a small hut in Sungai Pusu, Gombak, was a purebred address of 13 voters.

Abdul Aziz said an investigation by EC officials showed which a hut is not a residential residence though a parking place for motorcycles.


The address provided by Saifuddin is which of a coffee shop which is used by residents of several houses in a locality as their corresponding address because it is located beside a categorical road.

Abdul Azizthat a EC was a only physique empowered, under Article 113 of a Federal Constitution, to administer a electoral roll.

"We have never agreed to let any particular or institution to inspect or review a electoral roll."

He also reiterated which once a names of electorate have been purebred in a electoral hurl as well as gazetted, a hurl cannot be questioned or altered by anybody solely by a electorate themselves.


This is where a danger lies - a hurl cannot be questioned or changed. EC was combined by a constitution to protect a sanctity of electoral routine in order to ensure which a routine of selecting a next supervision is clean, transparent, democratic as well as credible.

There must be a check-and-balance mechanism to ensure which a EC is handling above politics at all times. It does not sound very convincing as well as convincing if a EC does not have any effort to concrete its credibility as well as impartiality.

Any celebration which doubts a credibility as well as correctness of a electoral hurl has a rig! ht to di rect for a disclosure. EC is responsible to conduct regular audits to ensure which a hurl is purify as well as accurate.

Aziz is quick to indicate which a elect can have mistakes too. Hence, he should keep an open mind to queries as well as doubts. His role is to rectify any weaknesses as well as mistakes.

This is not a first time EC has been sensitive about discrepancies in a electoral hurl though a elect under Aziz has not responded favorably to a complaints.

If Aziz cannot do a job, he should step down as well as let others who have been some-more able to take over from him; instead of great wolf over a Selangor supervision review of a electoral roll. It does not take a Selangor supervision review practice to discredit a commission. Aziz's care of a EC has caused sufficient damage to its reputation.

What has EC accomplished upon Sabah's Project IC, haunt voters, postal voters, abroad electorate as well as other poignant suggestions upon electoral reforms?
