Newly-registered voters can check names at 853 locations nationwide
PETALING JAYA: Newly-registered voters can now check their names against the electoral roll for the fourth quarter of 2007 at 853 locations in the country.
In a statement, the Election Commission (EC) said the roll would be displayed from Jan 12 to 18 at state election offices, computer-enabled post offices and various government offices, land offices, local council offices and village halls.
The EC said it had received 159,123 applications for new voters and 54,920 applications for change of voting address during the quarter, adding that voters could also check their names at the website www.spr.gov.my.
“Malaysians who have just registered or applied to change their voting address are advised to check their names against the roll.
“If new voters do not find their names on the list, they can make a claim to the state election director within seven days (using Form B),” the statement said.
As for voters in any constituency who want to object to names entered into the roll, they can fill up a separate form (Form C).
The statement added that apart from displaying the roll, the EC would also display names of voters that were removed from the roll due to death, those whose citizenship was rescinded and those who had retired from the police or army.
The EC said the public could also make enquiries on these matters by calling 03-8885 6500 or faxing to 03-8888 9117.
