Comment
The voter registration system is ostensibly decentralized. According to the law, the voters? lists are drafted and revised in each municipality under the control of an electoral administration commission composed of an appointed judge who serves as the president, the president of the Communal Popular Assembly, the municipality?s secretary general, and two voters designated by the president of the commission (Article 15). While Ministry of Interior officials verbally confirmed to international observers that they do possess national level voter registration data, there was no nationally consolidated voter registration list made available to stakeholders or the public. Lists otherwise are kept at the local level with commissions at the communal level responsible for annual revision
As is common practice in many countries, a citizen can verify his voter registration information at the municipal office and file a complaint about his own omission or the inclusion of another voter believed to be ineligible (Articles 19 and 20).
