The Election Commission (EC) has put the Additional Electoral Roll Bill (DPT Bill) for Q4/2013 on display at 930 locations nationwide for two weeks starting today.
Its public relations officer Sabri Said in a statement today that the DPT Bill involves applications for voter registration made in October, November and December last year.
“The EC received a total of 28,059 voter registration applications consisting of 21,754 new voters and 6,305 applications for change of polling centres registered with the EC.
“For new registration, if the applicant’s name is not listed, he may stake a claim by using Form B and send to the registrar (state director of elections) for the registration area.”
Sabri said registered voters who wished to object to the inclusion of certain persons in the DPT Bill may do so by using Form C.
The objection can only be made against not more than 20 persons in accordance with sub-regulation 15 (3) Election Regulations (Registration of Voters) (Amendment) Act 2012 and sent to the registrar (state director of elections) for the registration area.
“During the display, the EC will also list the names of voters who will removed from the Electoral Roll.
“The EC’s basis is because the voters have died, been stripped of citizenship and retired from the armed forces or police which means they lose the eligibility as postal voters, and others.”
Among the locations selected for the display of the DPT Bill are the state election office, computerised post office, government office complex, district office/land office/municipal/district council office.
For inquiries about the DPT Bill, the public can contact the EC headquarters at 03-88856565 or fax 03-88889117 or any state election office.
The public can also visit the EC website at www.spr.gov.my to check the DPT Bill.
