It said this was because the redelineation exercise, including for Selangor, had not been completed.
Bersih said EC had only notified and held local enquiries for approximately 50 groups, although over 250 objections were filed by voters in Selangor in February.
The commission, it added, failed to notify the other 200 of the status of their objections and inquiries.
“On the contrary, the EC chairman had deceitfully made a media commentary recently that the second local inquiries were still ongoing, and similar assertions were made by the senior federal counsel to the Court of Appeal in the Selangor case on March 2, 2018,” it said.
“The EC has now stooped to a new low, as the announcement of the completion of the redelineation exercise effectively means that they are now even denying the very minimum rights of over 20,000 objectors to be heard on the issues of redelineation, as provided by the Federal Constitution.”
Yesterday, EC chairman Mohd Hashim Abdullah said the redelineation exercise, as provided for under Article 113 (10) of the Federal Constitution, was completed and its report submitted to Najib.
But Bersih said EC rushed through the process.
“It is clear that the EC and the prime minister are determined to have the new electoral boundaries passed before the upcoming general election (GE14).
“Now that the final report is in the hands of the prime minister, he has unfettered power under Section 9, Thirteenth Schedule of the Federal Constitution to make any further changes as he deems necessary before tabling it in Parliament,” it said.
