FEWER than half of all evictees are registered to vote in the communes to which they have been relocated, according to a report released Wednesday by an election monitoring NGO.
The report from the Committee for Free and Fair Elections draws from interviews with 244 evictees of voting age and living in three Dangkor district villages, though its authors said that the findings were likely representative of evictees nationwide.
Sok Pitou, a Comfrel investigator, said the report’s purpose was to draw attention to the hurdles evictees must overcome when registering to vote.
