Bersih 2.0 has found discrepancies in addresses given by people when they register to vote in elections, with a huge number of voters found at the same address.
In a statement today, it said what was of great concern is the inability to verify the genuineness of these addresses and whether such properties even exist. “Unless audits of the electoral roll are carried out, such abuses will go undetected,” it said, adding that the absence of a unique identifier for addresses undermined the integrity of the data.
It also wants to explore the viability of setting up a registry that is similar to the UK’s Unique Property Reference Number in Malaysia.
