Rather, the audit was conducted to “demonstrate the quality of the 2012 >Voters’ Lists”. >However, NDI’s Thornton maintained that “the objectives of an audit should be >to do an objective assessment of your list, and if you need to make changes, >to make changes”. >According to Thornton, the NEC’s audit, though a positive step, was not >complete. >An “authentic voter registry audit”, she said, needed to ensure that a sample >of people’s names appeared on the list and verify that names appearing on the >list belong to actual people. >In its survey, NDI found that 10.4 per cent of voters on the NEC’s list could >not be located or accounted for. >Cambodia’s opposition has long pointed to discrepancies in the NEC’s lists, >and frequently demands changes.
