3,457 Klang voters disappeared from electoral roll...

Klang MP Charles Santiago has discovered that the names of 3,457 voters in his parliamentary constituency have, without reason, disappeared from the electoral roll since the 2008 general election.

“They were registered voters in the 2008 general election but when you key in their identity card numbers in the Election Commission (EC) online database, it says ‘no information’,” he told Malaysiakini after calling a press conference in Klang this morning.

Under the current laws, only voters who have died, been declared bankrupt, have had their citizenship revoked or been declared insane can be removed from the electoral roll, and the reasons for removal will be stated in every quarterly supplementary roll.

However, Santiago (left) claimed that the reasons for their removal from the roll were not stated, and not all of them are elders.

“In our search on the ground, we located several of them. They are still alive and eligible to vote,” he said.

Santiago and his team also found out that 2,195 voters in Klang have transferred their voting addresses to other constituencies but their addresses in the electoral roll still remain in Klang, which is not allowed under the current regulations.

Since 2002, the EC has make it compulsory that any voting address must be the same as the voter’s address recorded in his or her MyKad.

If voters want to change their voting constituencies, they must first change their addresses recorded in their MyKad.

Hence, for those Klang voters to transfer their voting addresses to other constituencies, they have to first change their MyKad addresses, which will be reflected in the electoral roll.- malaysiakini

Pengundi masih hidup tapi rekod JPN kata dia sudah mati...

Seorang pengundi di Dun Kuala Kubu Baharu Parlimen Hulu Selangor terkejut apabila Jabatan Pendaftaran Negara (JPN) merekodkan beliau sudah meninggal dunia.

Mohamad Diah Arjan berkata, beliau sangat hairan apabila semakan yang dibuat di laman web Suruhanjaya Pilihan Raya (SPR) menyatakan " Record not found" sedangkan namanya ada dalam sistem semakan di pejabat pos Kuala Kubu Baharu.

Selepas membuat semakan di pejabat pos, beliau yang bernombor kad pengenalan 691130 01 5063 membuat semakan di JPN Kuala Kubu Baharu dan pegawai bertugas memaklumkan bahawa ada menerima laporan berhubung kematian beliau tetapi belum disahkan lagi.

"Bagaimana perkara ini boleh berlaku? Saya bertanya bagaimana ia boleh berlaku dan pegawai bertugas memaklumkan ada kesilapan di JPN Putrajaya.

"Selepas seminggu saya datang semula ke JPN Kuala Kubu Baharu dan status telah dibetulkan, bahawa saya masih hidup dan sihat walafiat," kata beliau dalam aduan yang dihantar kepada Harakahdaily hari ini.

Dalam jawapan kepada aduan yang dibuat beliau sebelum ini, SPR memaklumkan semakan telah dibuat menerusi pangkalan data JPN ke atas nombor kad pengenalan 691130 01 5063 dan didapati bahawa status rekod Mohamad Diah adalah 'telah meninggal dunia'.

Sehubungan itu, SPR meminta Mohamad Diah membuat pembetulan maklumat di JPN dan memaklumkannya kepada SPR untuk kemasukan semula rekod beliau sebagai pemilih.

Namun ujarnya, semakan yang dibuat di laman web SPR pada jam 1.40 pagi tadi tetap mendapati "record not found".

Justeru beliau menggesa SPR mengambil tindakan segera bagi mengatasi kepincangan itu supaya beliau dapat mengundi pada pilihan raya umum ke-13.

"Saya harap pihak SPR dapat mengambil tindakan segera supaya saya dapat mengundi dalam PRU 13.

"Jangan kesilapan yang dibuat oleh JPN dan SPR menyebabkan saya tidak boleh mengundi dalam PRU 13.Satu kezaliman kepada rakyat biasa seperti saya," katanya.-harakahdaily
