SPECIAL REPORT The commission is tightening the rules to prevent discrepancies in the electoral rolls, and not to frustrate political parties.
While political parties are seeking to loosen some procedures on voter registration, the Election Commission (EC) is determined to tighten loopholes to prevent discrepancies in the electoral rolls. Addressing complaints, among them is the longer-than-usual approval of accreditation of new assistant registration officers (AROs), EC chief Abdul Aziz Mohd Yusof said the rules on accrediting AROs are an effort to clean up the system, rather than an attempt to frustrate political parties and NGOs.
