Phnom Penh (FN), May 28 - Chairman of National Election Committee (NEC) Sik Bun Hok requested the Ministry of Interior (MoI) to take legal action against any activities on media outlets and social networking services that violate the law and hinder the electoral process.

The request was made in a meeting to prepare for the safety of the electoral process, where he co-chaired with Minister of Interior Sar Kheng on Monday at the Ministry.

"I would like authority to take action against illegal activities on media outlets and other social networks that hinder eligible Cambodian voters to vote in the upcoming election, or prevent candidates or supporters of political parties to do political campaigns,” said Sik Bun Hok.

According to the chairman, every dissemination of news must comply with the Press Law, the Law on Elections, the Order and Procedures and the Code of Ethics prepared by the NEC.

He also asked the authority to ensure security while voting, counting ballots, and announcing the results.
