PM: Vote Near Your Work

[geovalin]

Prime Minister Hun Sen said yesterday that citizens working far from their homes can register to vote near their places of employment, a change that could save many citizens from a lengthy and costly trip to their home province. At a ceremony commemorating a new bridge in Kandal province’s Koh Thom district, Mr. Hun Sen told the crowd that voter registration, which will start on September 1 and last until November 29, will be held in every province, allowing people to register anywhere through the new digital voter system.
 

“Nieces and nephews who were not clear about this the last time now can know. The workers at the golf club where I play were not clear about it either. They asked me whether or not they can register to vote near their workplace. Previously, they went to register in their hometown,” he said. “Now they can register where they work. This is an easy one. Last time, they registered at their hometown and they came to work in Phnom Penh and had to go back to their hometown for the election, but from now on, they do not need to go to register in their hometown. If they work in Phnom Penh, they can register at that place,” he added.
 

“But they must to have Khmer identification cards.” The premier said Cambodians had to take time to register for the next elections on June 4, 2017, and July 29, 2018, because the right to vote was a special one that must be exercised.
