"SPR memaklumkan bahawa mereka telah membuat pembetulan lokaliti dan kawasan tersebut berada di Kuala Lumpur iaitu Parlimen Lembah Pantai.
"Selain itu juga, SPR turut menyatakan saya telah membuat permohonan permindahan tempat mengundi di kampung saya mengikut alamat di dalam kad pengenalan pada tahun 2007," jelasnya.
Menurutnya lagi, jika pilihanraya diadakan dalam masa terdekat beliau akan mengundi di Parlimen Lembah Pantai sehinggalah daftar pemilih baru dikeluarkan.
Dalam pada itu kedudukan beliau sebagai Menteri Besar tidak akan terjejas walaupun mengundi di Kuala Lumpur kerana alamat di dalam kad pengenalannya masih di Selangor.
Khalid juga menyatakan selain isu tersebut perbincangan tentang isu pembersihan daftar pemilih di Selangor yang melibatkan rekod perpindahan kawasan tanpa pengetahuan pengundi.
"Kami memaklumkan SPR bahawa kerajaan negeri memandang serius pergerakan dan pemindahan ke dalam Selangor dan mahu SPR mengambil langkah tertentu untuk membersihkan daftar pengundi.
"Kerajaan negeri juga mengambil kesempatan pertemuan ini untuk memaklumkan kepada SPR usaha-usaha yang telah kami lakukan untuk menguatkan demokrasi di Selangor," kata beliau lagi.
Menurut Khalid, kerajaan negeri telah menyediakan geran RM5 juta bagi Program Pendemokrasian di bawah Geran Selangorku demi membolehkan semua pihak dan individu tanpa mengira parti politik untuk membuat bantahan berkenaan nama-nama pengundi yang meragukan.
"Kerajaan negeri juga akan melancarkan program 'Selangorku Bersih' di mana kakitangan kerajaan negeri seperti Ketua Kampung dan JKKK akan ditugaskan untuk membantu memastikan senarai daftar pemilih adalah bersih dan teratur.
"Program ini adalah cara kerajaan negeri membantu SPR membersihkan senarai daftar pemilih khususnya di Negeri Selangor," tambahnya lagi.
Khalid percaya bahawa demokrasi harus mencerminkan kuasa rakyat dalam membuat pilihan adil dan bersih, malah rakyat berhak mendapat sebuah kerajaan yang telus dan bertanggungjawab.
Ketika ditanya tentang hasrat kerajaan negeri untuk tidak bersama dalam membubarkan Dun dalam pilihanraya yang akan datang, beliau memberitahu perkara tersebut tidak dibincangkan dalam pertemuan tersebut.
Turut hadir dalam pertemuan tersebut adalah ahli-ahli mesyuarat kerajaan negeri termasuk Speaker Dewan Negeri, Datuk Teng Chang Khim. Datuk Wira Wan Ahmad Wan Omar selaku Timbalan Pengerusi SPR juga turut hadir.-harakahdaily
Selangor to pump RM5mil into war on dubious voters...
Selangor Menteri Besar Khalid Ibrahim told the media after a meeting with the Election Commission that the programme would be a "measure from the state to help EC to clean up its electoral roll in Selangor".
Khalid said the state would use funds for this from the RM5 million grant set aside under the Geran Selangorku scheme to enable any individual or party to raise objections on dubious voters in the electoral roll.
Khalid, Selangor assembly speaker Teng Chang Khim and a delegation of Selangor exco members were at the EC headquarters in Putrajaya today for a briefing by the commission and to discuss issues pertaining to the movement of voters' polling stations without their knowledge.
Pakatan Rakyat had claimed that as of December 2011, there has been a sudden rise in the number of voters in the state, amounting to about half a million individuals or 35 percent of Selangor voters.
Coalition supremo Anwar Ibrahim had said Selangor will not go for its state-level polls until the matter is resolved.
When asked about this today, Khalid said he did not raise the matter to the EC today because it is beyond EC’s jurisdiction to decide when the state is to hold an election.
Briefing reaffirms existence of voter spike
Meanwhile, Selangor senior exco member Teresa Kok said that the EC’s briefing has reaffirmed the existence of a spike in dubious voters.
“In Batang Kali (state) constituency alone, there is a 40 percent spike of new voters since 2008, making the total number of voters to 39,928 now.
“But Batang Kali is a semi-rural constituency, where did the voters come from?” she said.
She added that the neighbouring Kuala Kubu Baru state constituency had not recorded such a significant increase.
Besides Batang Kali, Bukit Lanjan has also recorded a 34 percent increase in voters, followed by Paya Jaras with 31 percent.
Asked about the claim that a large number of East Malaysians have
registered themselves as voters in Selangor, Khalid said the EC has
given the explanation that it is done according to procedure.
“We were told that eligible voters can register to vote in Selangor. The validity is determined upon application for registration,” he said.
Khalid said he tried to press for exact figures on the matter, but was told it is being tabulated.
“The EC said the figures are still being tabulated because there is a surge of voters.
“It said that on March 30 alone, 5,000 people were registered to vote in Selangor,” he said.
On his own voting status, Khalid said he has applied to move his voting constituency from Lembah Pantai, Kuala Lumpur to Ijok, Selangor.
Khalid also dismissed the theory by an Umno blogger that being a KL voter would disqualify him from contesting a state seat if he fails to change his voting constituency, saying that the criteria examined is the address on the identity card.
When asked about the MCA’s accusations that Selangor deferment of its elections is a stunt to siphon its money to campaign activities elsewhere, Khalid declined to comment.
Exco member Halimah Ali, who was standing beside Khalid, then quickly went to his defence, quipping that “even the selangor exco has found it hard to get a cent from the government”.- malaysiakini
