NAY PYI TAW July 6

Vice Chairman of State Administration Council Deputy Prime Minister Vice-Senior General Soe Win addressed a work coordination meeting on compilation of eligible voter lists for the election held at SAC Chairman’s Office here at 2 pm today.

Also present were Chairman of Union Election Commission U Thein Soe, Union ministers Lt-Gen Soe Htut, U Khin Yi and Dr Myo Thein Kyaw, UEC member U Aung Lwin Oo, deputy ministers U Htay Hlaing, U Zaw Win and U Aung Tun Khaing and officials. The Nay Pyi Taw Council Chairman, chief ministers of regions and states and officials took part in the meeting through video conferencing.

The Vice-Senior General said it is the third work coordination meeting and the first one was held on 14 March 2022. Since 21 April, data on NRCs have been compiled and stored.

Departmental personnel of regions and states, UEC staff, staff of Ministry of Immigration and Population, Tatmadaw members, Myanmar Police Force members and volunteers totaling over 3,600 took part in the task with the help of over 3,000 computers. Thanks to the collective cooperation of the region and states, the written list of over 51 million NRCs could be computerized within two months.

The second stage involves the task of checking the facts contained in form 66/6 with the list of form (4). Cross examinations between regions and states and ward- and village-wise field tours will be conducted only after the completion of the second stage. After the completion of nation-wise field tours, all the lists and tables will be stored in the SAC-established National Database correctly and safely.

By using the data stored in the National Database Main Server the relevant departments will be able to conduct necessary factchecking earlier. Hence, work programs of stage 2 and stage 3 must be carried out systematically in a timely manner. Only then will the election be free, fair and genuine and based on exact lists. Ongoing cooperation is required in collecting data for the immigration process that is beneficial for the citizens and departments.

UEC Chair U Thein Soe reported on the counter checking process for the correctness of voter lists; Union Minister for Home Affairs Lt-Gen Soe Htut, census in regions and states; and Union Minister for Immigration and Population U Kyin Yi, cooperation for the precision of voter lists.

The Nay Pyi Taw Council chair, chief ministers and officials took part in the discussions.

The meeting ended with concluding remarks by the Vice-Senior General.
