KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 25 ― The Election Commission (EC) will display the list of 40,000 voters that have yet to be verified or authenticated from Thursday as talk of a snap election gathers pace.
Electoral reforms coalition Bersih 2.0 had listed cleaning up electoral rolls as the first of eight demands although the EC routinely checks the list. The latest list will be made available with this year’s third quarter electoral roll at 1,000 selected venues and also on the EC website.
Commission deputy chairman Datuk Wira Wan Ahmad Wan Omar (picture) said those on it should come forward to verify details.
“The verification can be done within a week from the display,” he said, when contacted by The Malaysian Insider.
Wan Ahmad said unverified names would be removed.
He added the commission had been unable to remove these names from the list as information received from the National Registration Department (JPN) showed their details to be valid.
