Council Orders Discipline of Election Staff in Siem Reap

The Constitutional Council on Thursday ordered the National Election Committee to discipline staff members at seven voting stations in Siem Reap province for irregularities in July’s national election. The Council, which acts as the appeals body for election complaints, said in its decision that disciplinary action could include fines or prohibition from participation in future elections for NEC staff at the seven stations.

The Council also said it had found valid an opposition complaint that soldiers had been transported by state vehicles on Election Day. ..
