The number of eligible voters in Cambodia has risen by 2 percent, the National Election Committee (NEC) said Thursday, following its annual campaign in October to revise voter rolls throughout the Kingdom.
The NEC’s Em Sophat told a press conference that the total number of voters on the new list had increased to 8,331,906 people, with 16,538 polling stations nationwide.
“The numbers of voters and polling stations has increased because of our promotional efforts,” Em Sophat said, added that the NEC had tabulated its findings electronically to ensure accuracy.
A press release from the NEC added that 167,391 voters had been eliminated from the registration list because they had died or changed residences.
