UEC launches township-level voter lists management system training course

The opening ceremony of the township-level voter lists management system training course was conducted at Hsinphyushin Hall of Tatmadaw transit centre yesterday.
During the ceremony, Union Election Commission Chairman U Thein Soe said the two pieces of software to be taught at the training are the main software for the township sub-election commission. The UEC is focusing on the correct voter lists currently. The Hluttaw Election Law also states that the township sub-election commission and ward or village tracts sub-election commissions shall compile the eligible voter lists based on the census collected by the Township Administration Department of the Ministry of Home Affairs and Township Office of the Ministry of Immigration and Population. Therefore, the relevant departments launched pilot projects to verify the ground population census according to Form 66/6 across the nation.
The township population collected by the pilot projects were also verified with the IVLS system and sent to relevant immigration/administration departments to check the increasing or decreasing population and amend the data. Based on the monthly population compiled until October 2022, the cross-check procedures were conducted, and arrangements are made to be correct population by cooperating with the immigration/administration departments.
These lists are added to ADMIN and DEO software applications. In ADMIN Software, the township sub-election commissions will receive the data related to their townships from the central level voter lists management system to add to ADMIN software, extract the set files and polling station data and add to the central level system and DEO software. Then, the DEOs have to collect the ward/village-tract polling stations files from DEO software in ADMIN Software and check duplication of voter lists, extract the voting lists from ADMIN software and add them to the central voter lists management system.
In DEO software, the files from ADMIN software and population will be added to the software and it will divide the population for polling stations, categorize the types of voters, fill the form, check the duplicated data and add voter lists from DEO software to ADMIN software.
The township-level voters’ list management system is drafted to conduct the compiling of voters lists with a computer system and is a link between central level, ADMIN and DEO software.
The UEC Chairman also highlighted the major things for voters to hold certain identity cards to cast the vote and to be on the voter lists of respective constituencies, to have Form 66/6 to be in voter lists.
He continued that public awareness programmes are also conducted across the nation.
He then called on the trainees to study the ADMIN and DEO software operations attentively at the training.
A total of 150 assistant directors and staff officers joined the training that will end on 14 January. — MNA/KTZH
