The 2015 fourth quarterly electoral roll which listed the application of 103,508 new voters and change of address of polling stations is on display in 964 locations nationwide from today until Feb 2.
Election Commission (EC) secretary Datuk Abdul Ghani Salleh said the registration applications involved 82,146 registration of new voters and 21,362 applications for change of polling station's address from registered voters.
He said applicants, whose names were not listed in the electoral roll, could make claims by using the Form B while registered voters who wanted to object the names of anyone in the 2015 fourth quarterly electoral roll could do so by completing the Form C.
"An individual can object not more than 20 persons.
"The Form B and Form C must be submitted to the Registrar (State EC director) for the registration area concerned on a work day during the time the electoral roll is displayed," he said in a statement here Monday.
Abdul Ghani said the objection must be substantiated and not with intent to deny the right of citizens to register as voters or belittling the role of the EC in the registration of voters.
During the display period, he said, EC also displayed the names of voters who would be removed from the electoral roll due to the applicants not residing in the constituency concerned, not Malaysian citizens or had died.
Hence he called on all applicants who had registered from Oct 1 until Dec 31 last year to check their voter registration information.
The revision can be made through the EC website at www.spr.gov.my or by contacting telephone line 03-8892 7000, he said.
