Door-to-Door Voter Registration To Be Launched In Late June

Burma’s Lower House said that they will conduct door-to-door voter registration across the country to compile accurate voter lists for the next general election.

During a session of Parliament on Monday, Lower House lawmaker Nay Myo Htet, representing Rangoon’s Kyauktada district for the National League for Democracy, questioned the Union Election Commission (UEC) on its plan for assembling voter lists, citing the inaccuracy of the lists made for last year’s election.

The 2015 lists were highly controversial, with reports of the names of deceased people included and large numbers of ethnic minorities excluded. (Courtesy of irrawaddy.com)
