Hun Sen Rules Out Postal Voting for Cambodia During His US Tour

Speaking at times behind a lectern adorned with familiar yellow flowers and at one point taking up a bullhorn outside a hotel, Prime Minister Hun Sen gave a string of speeches during his tour of Washington for the U.S.-Asean Summit.

At one stop at a conference hall on Wednesday, Hun Sen joked about the complications the U.S. had faced due to postal voting in its 2020 election — when supporters of then-sitting president Donald Trump made widespread, largely unsubstantiated allegations of voter fraud.

Amid laughter from attendees, Hun Sen ordered that the Cambodian Embassy issue Cambodian IDs for its citizens living in the U.S., and encouraged those expatriates to come back to their home country, especially to vote. “You can have the right to vote. But please come to vote in the country. This is Cambodia’s election law, which doesn’t allow you to vote via post — and don’t be deceived by the U.S.’s example,” Hun Sen said.
