However, it should be acknowledged that the Parliament has enacted a number of detailed provisions attempting to legislate procedures that could ensure the accurate recording of all persons eligible to vote. In an apparent recognition of the need for action, the Parliament enacted articles creating “special groups” to conduct door to door checking for voters prior to the 2006 local elections. While the effectiveness of the work of these “special groups” was limited due to the reduced term of their operation, the Parliament should be commended for recognising that the commitment of adequate human resources, and not simply improved legal provisions, is critical for creating accurate voters’ lists. Political will and commitment remain crucial for the establishment of accurate voters’ lists.
