Thousands of dead voters retired in each of the last 2 quarters. Further details on Army/Police movements.
The 3 tables below are related. (Table A = Table B + Table C. ) They summarize the types of quarterly changes in electoral rolls of 2007q4 and 2008q1:
- All voters (army, police, civilians),
- Army and police postal voter changes, and
- Civilian changes, excluding army and police.
- New voters mostly civilians: In 2007q4, eg, new registrations were 55% of all changes. These are mostly civilian new registrations, since new registrations by Police/Army voters only accounted for 1.3% of all voter changes. Similar pattern occurred in 2008q1 -- there were very few new Army/Police voters.
- What the Army/Police voters excel at is moving around before the GE. While civilian voters who moved addresses accounted for 13.2% and 13.6% -- quite evenly distributed over the 2 quarters -- of 2007q4 and 2008q1 respectively, the Army/Police were particularly active before the GE. Army/Police voters who were repositioned accounted for 5.8% of all voter changes in 2007q4 just in time for GE2008, but only 0.4% during 2008q1 when it was too late for GE2008.
- Recent campaign to strike off dead voters? SPR deleted 16,651 and 18,548 dead voters, or 5.8% and a significant 14.1% of voter changes, respectively during 2007q4 and 2008q1. These are mostly civilian voters. Judging from the significant percentage of 14.1% of a relatively "more normal" quarter of 2008q1, it looks like this is a recent campaign and determination by the SPR to clean up the Dead Voters Society after persistent protests by election watch groups.

Master Electoral Roll Free Of Dead Voters
http://www.bernama.com/bernama/v3/news.php?id=317270
PUTRAJAYA, Feb 28 (Bernama) -- The Master Electoral Roll to be used for the general election is free of the names of voters who had died.
The roll containing the names of 10,922,139 voters who died up to Dec 31 last year was gazetted on Feb 5.
Election Commission (EC) secretary Datuk Kamaruzaman Mohd Noor said it had removed the names of 697,902 voters who died between Jan 1, 2004 and Dec 31 last year.
He said the commission was mindful that there were registered voters who died between Jan 1 and March 7 this year.
"The general election laws do not allow EC to remove the names of the deceased from the Master Electoral Roll. Their names will be exhibited in April for public viewing," he said when commenting on the confusion among Opposition parties.
"Political parties and independent candidates need not worry as claims that some people will be voting in place of dead registered voters are baseless."
The EC would be distributing the list of voters who died between Jan 1 and March 7 and their identity card numbers to all polling centre heads, he said.
"This will enable them to be aware of voters who had died to prevent the issuance of ballot papers in their names.
"They have also been directed to get police help to nab those who turn up to vote using the identity cards of dead voters.
"The offenders will be arrested under the Criminal Procedure Code and the offence is punishable under Section 7 of the Election Offences Act 1954.
"Those who disguise as voters can be jailed for up to two years and fined a minimum of RM1,000 or up to RM5,000."
In an effort to clean the electoral list of names of dead voters, the EC had despatched teams to police stations nationwide to get copies of the burial permits.
Last year, it succeeded in removing 10,064 names of dead voters from the electoral roll and informed their next of kin to produce copies of the death certificates."
Kamaruzaman said a team was also sent to 2,764 longhouses in Sarawak between January 2006 and October last year, and 12,807 dead voters were traced and reported to the National Registration Department.
After consulting the longhouse heads and supported by the district officers, the 12,807 names were later removed from the electoral roll.
