លទ្ធិប្រជាធិបតេយ្យសម្រាប់ប្រជាជាតិយើង តម្រូវឲ្យដាក់បញ្ចូលជនជាតិខ្មែរនៅឯនាយសមុទ្រផងដែរ / Democracy for our nation must be inclusive of overseas Cambodians (*)
On February 19, 2016, Mr. Sophan Seng, leader of the CEROC, was honored to meeting H.E.Kuoy Bunroeun, Deputy of NEC at the head office to discuss the right to vote of Cambodians overseas.
The meeting was anticipated by two permanent members and two deputy secretaries of the current NEC. The discussion is summarized following:
Mr. Sophan Seng highly valued the new NEC that is better and more independent than before including the high expectation of its performance for this upcoming commune election 2017 and national election 2018. Precisely, he addressed the need to allow and facilitate access for Cambodians overseas to vote in Cambodia elections (inclusiveness). The CEROC’s objectives are: – to organize suggestions, petitions, and participation of all Cambodians overseas, and – to produce paper work on mechanism, technical and comparative studies through researches and academic gatherings.
Solution: H.E. Kuoy Bunroeun welcomed the tasks of research and recommended to submit petition through a right channel. NEC is implementing in accordance to the existing laws solely.
2. In the future, the NEC shall prepare high ranking officer(s) to visit Khmers diaspora to interact with them about the progress of the NEC.
3. H.E. Kuoy Bunroeun debriefed the advantage and disadvantage points of the new NEC following:
Advantage Points:
Institutionalized into Cambodia Constitution
Procedures, mechanism, and implementation of the NEC
Election laws: new voter registration using fingerprint, photos and computer database etc.
Able to make all decision makings
Disadvantage points:
Population database and identity matching are under limit
Ability of NEC’s staffs especially in each voting booth (PSO) is under limit
Infrastructure such as electricity is very limited

During the 24 years of Paris Peace Agreement commemoration organized by the Khmer Youth Association of Alberta, Mr. Sophan Seng was invited as a keynote speaker during the session. You can follow his talk and his advocacy for the CEROC following:
——-
Paris Peace Agreement Cambodia is an insurance for Cambodia country.
These 24 years anniversary is very crucial like every year else that Khmer Youth Association of Alberta organized it.
ផ្អែកលេីហេតុផលទាំងបីខាងលេី យេីងឃេីញថាប្រជាជនខ្មែរឯនាយសមុទ្រអាចចូលរួមបោះឆ្នោតបាន ប៉ុន្តែហេតុអ្វីពួកគេមិនអាចចូលរួមបានមកទល់ថ្ងៃនេះ?
I am very glade that prominent opposition leader has repeated to join the CEROC advocacy for the participation of Khmers overseas to vote in all Cambodia elections. We should be aware that there are approximate 3 millions population of Khmers overseas and they have hugely contributed to nation-building.
1. Each year, they has sent in remittance not less than 5 millions US dollars to develop the economy.
2. Basing on principle of multiparty democratic system, all Khmer people must be encouraged to actively participate in politics particularly to choose their representatives regardless of where they are living.
3. Cambodia constitution and the Universal Declaration on Human Rights of the United Nations have guaranteed the full participation to vote of Khmer people regardless of their living places.
Referring above three pillars, we are convinced that Khmers overseas are able to vote in Cambodia elections but until now why those are still unable?
