Bersih_ EC duties should be split among three bodies
- 3 years ago
The Coalition for Clean and Fair Elections (Bersih 2.0) has proposed that electoral management in Malaysia be divided into three autonomous commissions with separate jurisdictions.
Currently, the Election Commission (EC) bears all the workload of election implementation such as voter registration, redefining constituencies and the conduct of elections such as nomination and enforcement of Election Offences Act with assistance from other agencies such as the Royal Malaysian Police (PDRM).
"This proposal was made based on a study report launched today entitled 'Three is Better Than One: Institutional Reforms for Electoral Management in Malaysia'," said Bersih.
