Election Reforms |
|
|
Cambodia
has seen some significant democratic gains after three elections: two at
the national level and one at the commune level. The forthcoming national
assembly election in 2003 has the potential for consolidating these
democratic gains and the role of civil society. However, this will be
largely influenced by the quality of the election process, the information
voters receive and the freedom they enjoy in choosing their candidates. •
In order to strengthen the electoral institutions and the legal
framework, NGOs urge the RGC to reform the National Election Committee
(NEC). The NEC should be composed of five members who would maintain
an independent, neutral, non-partisan and competent body. NGOs would also
like the NEC to take proactive measures to ensure equal access to the
media for all political parties. For
further information on these issues and the recommendations proposed,
please refer to the Election Reforms paper on page 27. |
