Technical issue mars voter list publication
Prospective voters ran into problems on January 3 during the first publication of the country’s new voter lists. Citizens will have until January 14 to check their names and information on voter lists to confirm they are correct, either in person, at registration offices or online. But many website users reported trouble logging into the registry, and those who managed to log in reported that the site was very slow. National Election Committee spokesman Hang Puthea said on January 3 that he had seen many of the 7,875,512 eligible voters in the kingdom checking their names at the office where they registered to vote, but also noted the myriad issues with the NEC website. “In the first day of posting the new registration voter lists, the NEC encountered technical problems with the internet and the slowness of the website, which is under construction to make it faster for logins,” he said. Voters can add information to their names, apply for an edit or register in a new name if they still have the receipt from their initial registration.
