The National Election Committee (NEC) started printing 13 million ballot papers for the 7th National Assembly election to be held on July 23, 2023.
The figures were mentioned during an inspection visit of the printing process by NEC President H.E. Prach Chan at a printing house in Khan Tuol Kok this morning.
According to NEC, more than 11 million ballot papers will be sent to the polling stations nationwide and over a million others will be kept as reserve at the capital and provincial election commissions.
More than 9.7 million voters have registered for the 2023 general election, with 18 political parties competing for the National Assembly’s 125 seats, the NEC said.
Cambodia has achieved significant progress in terms of economic growth, education, and social development since the dark days of the Khmer Rouge regime.
Cambodia’s general election is an important step in the country’s democratic journey and reflects the will of its people.
