“Wewill start the compilation of national voter list with 10 townships in Rangoonin the first phase, and we will continue to the other townships over fourphases,” said UEC member Win Kyi.

Stafffrom 10 township election commissions in Rangoon have spent the past two daystraining in the data computerization process used to compile voter lists,according to state-run paper The Mirror Daily.

“[Inthe second phase] we will continue to 41 townships in Rangoon, Taunggyi,southern Shan State and Mandalay,” said Thaung Hlaing, director of the UEC.“From there, the process will continue to other townships across the country.”

ThaungHlaing said that anomalies in the voter lists prepared for the 2010 electionswere the result of the rushed two-month preparation period.
