90 Voters in a Big House in KT

90 voters live in the same big house at No. 1089-A of Kg Kuala Ibai in Kuala Terengganu. SPR's inconsistent house numbering format understates the number of voters in the same houses. Meanwhile, 453 voters are registered without house number (NoRumah) at a single locality, ie, Kg Gong Tok Nasek.

Background: Many voters in the same address

  • We need to differentiate between two types of "large addresses":

    1. Many voters in a locality without house number.
      • These are also listed and discussed in Table C of article "8,388 or 10% of KT Voters Have No NoRumah".
      • This type involves many large cases, and usually involves a village address registered with up to a few hundreds of voters.
      • An example is the 453 voters registered at " [Blank NoRumah] Kg Gong Tok Nasek."
      • This type is difficult to verify, because they have only a village name, no street name, no house numbers, and there are many such voters in one address.

    2. Many voters in the same house with a house number.
      • This type involves relatively fewer voters per address, and a specific house number, that may be easier to verify.
      • An example is the 12 voters registered at "352 Kg Gong Tok Nasek" - the same village as the above example.
      • However, there is widespread inconsistency in SPR address formats, hiding many voters in the same house.
      • An example is the 90 voters registered at "1089-A Kg Kuala Ibai," including these variations of the address:
        • 1089-A Kg Kuala Ibai: 56 voters
        • 1089 A Kg Kuala Ibai: 23 voters
        • 1089A Kg Kuala Ibai: 7 voters
        • 1089 - A Kg Kuala Ibai: 4 voters
        • These are 90 voters all in the same house!
  • But the above two types are intertwined, because the same locality can contain voters both with and without house numbers.
  • In the example above, Kg Gong Tok Nasek contains 453 voters without house number. But Kg Gong Tok Nasek also contains 12 voters with house numbers 352, and 9 voters with these house numbers - 144, 173, 212, 214, etc.
  • This shows that voters at Kg Gong Tok Nasek could have been registered with more specific address, only that NRIC Department or SPR have not registered these voters properly.

  • There are three possible, half-legitimate, reasons for such large and vague addresses, although they all reflect badly on either the SPR, NRIC Department, or the government's economic development credential:
    • Some large addresses (not the village type typical in KT) may be apartments, and SPR or NRIC Department failed to register the complete apartment information.
    • SPR or NRIC Department may have skipped the details about street name, even when given.
    • Rural development is so poor that 1/3 voters in Terengganu still do not have a proper street name and house number.
  • Again, if election observers can prove (by photocopied ICs that are safely crossed and cancelled) that there is a large number of voters whose ICs indeed show detailed address such as house numbers and street names, but whose voter registrations do not show house numbers or street name, then we can make a strong case to make all voter registrations automatic, based on MyKad and NRIC database, instead of SPR's haphazard registration and input procedure.
  • To protect voter privacy, the tables here will not list the full IC, name, and address details living in the large addresses that will be required to check these "big addresses." Rather, we will provide these details to MAFREL field verification teams.

Table A lists address WITHOUT house numbers, and shows:
  • In searching for house numbers (NoRumah), we have partially cleaned up the data by eliminating confusing variations such as "-" (which also means a blank), "No. " (with a space), "No." without space, "N0." (with a zero), etc. See this table for more details. Therefore, our search for blank house number and similar house numbers will turn up more cases than without the clean-up effort.
  • The tables below also exclude postal voters, almost all of whom are registered without house number. Police and army postal addresses are public information, and we do not count them as "missing" house number or large addresses.

Table B lists houses WITH house numbers, and shows:
  • Addresses (Locality WITH House Number) where 15 or more voters are registered.
  • Most localities are village (kampung) address; some are more specific street addresses (eg, "Jln. Banggul")
  • The highest number of voters is 56, at 1089-A Kg Kuala Ibai, but ...
  • This table also illustrates the problem of SPR address format inconsistencies.
    • For example, "1089-A Kg Kuala Ibai" (56 voters) and "1089 A Kg Kuala Ibai" (23 voters) are essentially the same address.
    • At the bottom are at least 2 other variations (1089A with 7 voters and 1089 - A with 4 voters).
    • In total, there are 90 (=56+23+7+4) voters in the same house number!
    • In Table B, we have not yet cleaned and consolidated these SPR address format inconsistencies.
    • Such inconsistencies significantly understate the number of voters per house address.
    • These "1089-A" cases are highlighted in blue and red.

Table C shows that:
  • A locality can contain addresses both WITH AND WITHOUT house number.
  • In this example below, the address of "Kg Gong Tok Nasek" without house number contains 453 voters.
  • But the same address with house number "12" contains 1 voter, and house number "20" contains 2 voters, etc.
  • In total (not fully listed in Table C), this locality (Kodlokaliti 036/16/03/001), including all its house numbers, make up 809 unique addresses (809 table rows of locality+ house number) and 2,143 voters.
  • Table C selectively lists only 10 of the 809.
  • Many of these "unique addresses" are variations of the same address because of SPR's inconsistent house number format, such as house no. "1008 C" and "1008-C" (highlighted in red).

Table D shows that:
  • KT (P036) parliamentary seat contains 35,729 unique addresses (locality plus a house number or blank house number).
  • For example, 1 Jalan Besar, 1A Jalan Besar, [no house number] Jalan Besar, and 1 Jalan Bukit are four distinct and unique (fictitious) addresses.
  • Of the 35,729 unique addresses in KT, 256 are localities without a house number.
    • This type tends to have a high voter count in the same address, because this is a general address, such as a village address.
    • For example, the table shows 1 address without house number in KT contain voters in the range of 400-499 voters (It is actually "[Blank house number] Kg Gong Tok Nasek")
  • The other 35,473 are localities with a house number.
    • The fact that they have a house number make them more specific locations, containing fewer voters in the same address.
    • For example, there is one address with voter count in the range of 50-59, and 17 addresses with voter count in the range of 20-29.

8,388 or 10% of KT Voters Have No NoRumah

10.5% of voters in Kuala Terengganu are registered without a house number (NoRumah), even after excluding postal voters. SPR's voter address registration seems archaic, with 35% voters nationwide without house numbers, and without ZIP code. Why not automatically register voters and use MyKad address?

Background:

  • Nation-wide, 35% of voters were registered with the SPR without a house number (NoRumah) for GE12 electoral roll gazetted on 2008 Feb 5. See NoRumah? No Rumah? More than 1/3 voters homeless?
  • Sabah led the blurry pack, with 92% of voters not registering their house number.
  • Terengganu state overall had 35.2% voters without house numbers.
  • The relatively urbanized Kuala Terengganu (P036) in 2008 Feb 5 had 10.6% voters without NoRumah.
  • Using the latest KT roll of 2008 Dec 5, we found only slight improvement to 10.5% voters without NoRumah.
  • In Permatang Pauh by-election roll dated 20080731, 1,020 or 1.8% voters were without house numbers. See this report.
  • Our analysis exclude postal voters. Had postal voters been included, the percentage will be even higher by about 1% to 3%.
  • Our analysis also tries to standardize variations of entries, such as "-" and other text that denotes blank, such as "tiada","null","*", etc.

Table A provides the overview that
:
  • 8,388 or 10.5% of voters in KT are registered without a house number, only a "locality" such as a village or kampung address.
  • Batu Buruk has the most cases in KT, with 4,611 voters without house numbers.
  • All Tables A, B, C are constructed after excluding postal voters.

Questions: (also see this article):
  • Is it National Register of IC Department or SPR who omitted the house numbers?
  • If NRIC have specific address details, why not automatically register voters with MyKad info?
  • Why allow SPR procedure to introduce another hard-to-detect and hard-to-correct, and widespread, error?
  • Is rural development so backward 51 years after national independence that most rural voters have no specific house address?
  • Why do some voters in the same village have specific house numbers, when others do not?
  • If election observers can prove (by photocopied ICs that are safely crossed and cancelled) that there is a large number of voters whose ICs indeed show detailed address and house numbers, but whose voter registrations do not show house numbers, then we can make a strong case to make all voter registrations automatic, based on MyKad and NRIC database.

Table B lists those voting districts (DM, Daerah Mengundi) that have 20 or more voters registered without a house number. It shows:
  • Cendering Pandai (036/16/06) has 916, the highest number of voters with blank house numbers.
  • There are 14 DMs, each with more than 200 voters without house numbers.

Table C shows that:

  • A locality is meant to be a street, village general address, police quarters, army camp, or a representation of absentee voters.
  • But some localities contain hundreds of voters without house number.
  • 23 localities in KT contain more than 100 voters without a specific house number.
  • Most are a village (kampung) general address. But there is a hospital address, and even a street address (Jln Sultan Mahmud) with 33 voters registered without a house number.

KT Has 143 Voting Streams with Uneven Sizes, in 36 Voting Stations

We list KT's 36 voting stations (TM), 143 voting streams (Saluran), and the maximum number of voters that can appear in a vote tally. Two oldest voters pushed to the end of queue?

This list can help us to:

  • anticipate the voting day crowd and traffic at the TM (Tempat Mengundi, voting station),
  • allocate observer teams to each TM,
  • monitor the maximum number of votes that can be tallied at each TM and stream.
  • (A voting stream or Saluran) is one of several rooms monitored by polling agent inside a TM.)
Notables about Kuala Terengganu by-election roll gazetted 2008 Dec 5:
  • 2 pairs of DMs share the same TM.
  • One of these pairs are located across two different DUNs (One DM in Bandar DUN and one in Wakaf Mempelam DUN share the same TM).
  • There is large size difference in TM, ranging from 975 to 3,747 voters.
  • There is large size difference in voting streams, ranging from 350 to 763 voters.
  • The 2 oldest voters have been pushed to the end of queue!

Overview
: Table A shows that KT contains:
  • 80,229 voters, comprising 79,194 regular voters and 1,035 postal voters,
  • 4 state assembly seats (DUN) and 38 DM.
  • 36 TM, because 2 pairs of the DMs share the same TMs.

Note: Note: One of the TMs under Bandar (Sekolah Kebangsaan Pusat Chabang Tiga) is shared with and counted under Wakaf Mempelam.


Table B lists voting stations, count voting streams and voters.
  • Losong Datok Amar (DM 036/13/03) and Losong Penglima Perang (DM 036/13/04) share the same TM of Sekolah Kebangsaan Bukit Losong, probably because they are located near each other.
  • This increases the size of Sekolah Kebangsaan Bukit Losong as a TM to 2,736 voters in total.

  • Oddly, Seberang Baruh (DM 036/13/06, under Wakaf Mempelam DUN) and Tok Ku (DM 036/14/01 under Bandar DUN) share the same TM of Sekolah Kebangsaan Pusat Chabang Tiga. It is potentially confusing to share the same TM across 2 DUNs, even though this by-election does not involve voting for state assembly representative.
  • This increases the size of Sekolah Kebangsaan Pusat Chabang Tiga as a TM to make it one of the largest TMs, totalling 3,358 voters.
  • The red text in the table below indicate shared TMs and larger TMs.

  • Please help out by marking these TMs on WikiMapia.org at this URL, so that we can link to them all.

Table C shows changes to two oldest voters' NoSiri and Saluran:
  • There are only 2 voters in the whole KT who were born before 1900. They are listed in the table below. Our write up on older voters in KT is here.
  • Oddly, these 2 voters who had both been given the NoSiri of 1 in the GE12 electoral roll (gazetted 2008 Feb 5) have now been moved to the last of the NoSiri.
  • They now have the NoSiri of 1074 and 1987 respectively.
  • They have also been moved to the later voting streams of 2 and 4.
  • All other voters born from 1990 onward were not affected in the same way.
  • Had there been higher floors in the voting stations (TM), these elderly voters might have been forced to climb upstairs to vote!
  • Hopefull, Kuala Terengganu schools have ample spaces and these Saluran 2 and 4 are located on the ground floor.

Table D lists all voting streams (Saluran) in KT and the number of voters assigned to each:
  • This list is useful as a final check against voting day tally, for each voting stream, to assure tallies stay within the registered voter per stream.
  • The maximum number of voters per stream is 763; there are only 2 such streams.
  • The minimum number of voters per stream is 350.
  • The range varies widely among streams.
  • Our check of 2008 Feb 5 electoral roll (GE12) shows the maximum number of voters per stream then was 699 in KT, in Batu Buruk DUN.
  • Our check of 2008 Feb 5 electoral roll (GE12) also shows Sarawak (followed by Selangor) to have the largest number of voters per stream, up to an astonishing 3,956 voters per stream at 216/57/04 (Sarawak>Hulu Rajang>Belaga>Asap>TM Rumah Kulit Daerah Kecil>Saluran 1)

KT Subdivided into 4 DUN, 38 DM, 36 TM, 336 Localities

Kuala Terengganu (P036) contains 4 state seats (DUN), 38 voting districts (DM), 36 voting stations (TM), 143 voting streams (Saluran), and 336 localities. Oddly, KT contains very small and large localities (1 to 2,812 voters).

Background: How a parliamentary seat is subdivided. See earlier report for other details.

  • Election observers need to consider how the constituency is organized by the SPR.
  • A parliamentary constituency is divided into 3 or 4 state assembly seats (DUN).
  • A state seat is divided into around 10 voting districts (Daerah Mengundi, or DM). See Tables A and B.
  • A DM is further divided into, generally, 5 to 15 localities (Lokaliti).
  • A locality can be divided into many house numbers (NoRumah).
    • But there are often many voters with a blank house number within the locality. We will examine this later. Also see earlier report on Permatang Pauh.
    • KT contains some really large localities, containing as many as 2,812 voters, probably due to the vague registration of voters by unspecific village addresses (Kampung ...). See Table C. See earlier report on large localities in GE12 electoral roll.

  • Each DM is often associated with a voting station (Tempat Mengundi, or TM).
    • But sometimes two DMs can share a voting station. We will list the DMs and TMs in the next blog entry.
  • Each voting station is further divided into, generally, 1 to 10 voting streams (Saluran).
  • Voters within a DM are given a serial number (NoSiri), that runs across localities and within the DM.
    • It is odd that the NoSiri for KT's 2 oldest voters have been changed from Number 1 to the largest NoSiri.
    • Probably not in KT, but elsewhere it could mean requiring the old voters with high serial numbers to climb up to voting streams on higher floors to vote.

Table A shows the overall subdivision:
  • KT contains 4 DUNs.
  • The DUNs each contains 7 to 11 DMs, totalling 38 DMs.
  • The DUNs each contains 65 to 110 localities, totalling 336 localities.
  • Batu Buruk is the largest DUN by voter count (about 30%);
  • Ladang is the smallest (about 21%).

Table B shows the voter counts under each voting district (DM, Daerah Mengundi):
  • These voter counts will be determine the crowd and traffic jam at the voting centers on voting day. Kampung Paluh, eg, should be pretty crowded. A further study of the TMs will show that Seberang Baruh and Tok Ku are using the same school as TM, and will have over 3,000 voters as well.
  • There are 7 to 11 DMs under each of the 4 DUNs at KT, totalling 38 DMs.
  • Most DMs contain one to three thousand voters.
  • The largest DMs are Kampung Paluh (0361302) with 3,747 voters, and Gong Kapas (0361504) with 3,362 voters.
  • The smallest DM is Pantai Batu Buruk (0361601) with 981 voters.

Organizing Electoral Monitoring:
  • Election monitoring includes electoral roll verification, election campaign monitoring, and election day observation.
  • Because there is no state-level election, there is less need to split into 4 teams according to the DUN divisions, except to help management and decentralization.
  • The 38 DMs involve 36 TMs (Tempat Mengundi, voting station) because 2 pairs of DMs are sharing TMs.
  • This means there need to be 36 to 38 sets or sub-teams of field observers / leaders / documentation supports, to monitor the 36 voting stations.
  • We will list the TMs in the next blog entry

Table C selectively shows the largest and smallest localities by voter counts:
  • The large localities will require more manpower for field verification and campaign monitoring.
  • A locality is a street address, a village (kampung) address, or a postal address, such as a police quarters, army camp, or absentee voter location.
  • Most of KT's localities turn out to be the less specific village addresses (rather than the specific street address that would have helped voter verification).
  • The size of localities in KT turns out to be highly uneven.
  • There are whopper-size localities of 2,812 and 2,143 voters.
  • There are also a couple of single-voter localities, such as Kg. Bukit Keledang and Kg Losong Wan Endut, after we exclude police and absentee postal voter localities.
  • See this write-up for more discussion on very large and very small localities in GE12 electoral roll.
