Pre GE13 chapter 1: New Very Old Voters (NVOV)
Introduction to the series
Chapter 1.1 of MERAP's Final Reports raised the matter of voters above 85 years old, notably Tey Kim (IC: 900206740068) who was born in 1890.
EC has come out with the defence that it will beef up its information exchange process with Jabatan Pendaftaran Negara and to its credit, the number of voter deletions due to the reason of death have increased since the electoral roll attracts greater scrutiny from all quarters.
However, MERAP notice that despite the effort by the EC to remove deceased voters, there seems to be an effort by certain parties to continuously register people who are unlikely to be alive.

MERAP's series running up to GE13
GE13 is imminent. After much hinting and delay, boy cry wolf and trade secrets shadow play, the parliament shall reach its full term less than 100 days at the time of writing.
MERAP has been on going since early 2012 and in the run up to the 13th GE, shall publish a series of articles disclosing more of its findings, supplementing the cases disclosed in its Final Report published in October 2012.
Hopefully these articles can raise general public's awareness with regards to the irregularities occurring in the Electoral Roll which the Elections Commission Chairman once claim that is the cleanest in the world.
Perhaps this GE is as much as voting for the right government, as well as against irregularities and defending the assault on integrity of our election process.
