Bukit Selambau - Racial Breakdown by Saluran

Unfortunately, our countrymen and women still vote on racially based issues. Hence it is still important to analyze racial composition of voters. But only the government has all the detailed breakdown. Here is our attempt at balancing the information power, and to come up with an estimation voter ethnicity distribution down to the voting stream.

Our algorithm is based on the patterns in voter names:

• Our algorithm is crude, but still ends up with reasonably accurate and useful results,
• It currently cannot handle the Dayak name pattern (as in Batang Air). We will improve it later,
• The "Other" minority ethnic names, such as Thai names, tend to be lumped into the "Chinese" category, inflating it by perhaps 1% where the "Other" is significant, such as 1% in Bukit Selambau,
  
• We have compared the official ethnic breakdown (from UNDI.info) against this estimation, both using the older GE12 roll. The results are very close, with differentials from 0.1% for the Malay component to 1.5% for the Chinese components, at the DUN or parliament level.

• Further, because any estimation bias is likely to be cumulative (not offsetting), a small error at DUN level would mean EVEN SMALLER errors at DM or Saluran level.

Although a practically useful estimation, this is still only a crude estimation.

Batang Air Changes - 237 Additions and 188 Deletions

In Batang Air, 237 voters were added and 188 deleted after GE12. Among them were 42 police postal voters, whose police IC numbers were reformatted, making them look like 42 deletions and additions. Most of the changes took place in DMs Ensawang, Jela, Kesit, and Lubok Antu.

Is there anything sinister in these data? Not on the 42+42 police IC number changes. The sizes of 194 additions and 145 deletions are probably acceptable at 2% over three quarters. Only field verification can tell more. Detailed lists of additions/deletions on a voter-by-voter basis are available for field verification.


Table A shows that, in Batang Air (N29 under P203 Lubok Antu), between 2007 Dec 31 (gazetted on 2008 Feb 5 for GE12) and 2008 Sep 30 (gazetted on 2009 Feb 19? for by-election):

• Overall, it looks like 237 voters were added and 188 deleted.
• In reality, 42 of these additions and deletions are "illusions." These are 42 police personnel who remained, only having their IC numbering changed,
• These are examples of actual pairs of changed police IC in Batang Air: G0008388>G8388; R0108200>RF108200; R0104156>RF104156; R0060733>RF60733
• Another 1 police voter actually retired/moved out, while another 1 actually moved in
  
• Non-police voter additions totaled 194 during the 3 quarters, and deletions totaled 145,
• The net change was 49 additional voters over 3 quarters, increasing the total voter count to 8,006.

Bukit Selambau Changes - 553 additional and 390 deleted voters

In Bukit Selambau, 553 voter ICs were added and 390 voter ICs were deleted after GE12. The most changes took place in a few modern-sounding housing areas. As expected, the largest additions are in the 21-29 age group, and largest deletions in the 71-79 age group.

Is there anything sinister in these data? Not on the 10 police IC number changes. The size of the the roughly 390-550 regular voter changes over the first 3 quarters of 2008 look normal. Only field verification can tell more. Detailed lists of additions/deletions on a voter-by-voter basis are available for field verification.

What do "Additions" and "Deletions" mean? We have a table here that list the categories under each: Supplementary Voter Lists 2008q1 and 2007q4


Table A shows that, in Bukit Selambau (N25 under P014 Merbok), between 2007 Dec 31 (gazetted on 2008 Feb 5 for GE12) and 2008 Sep 30 (gazetted on 2009 Feb 19? for by-election):

• Overall, it looks like 553 voters were added and 390 deleted.
• In reality, 10 of these additions and deletions are "illusions." These are 10 police personnel who remained, only having their IC numbering changed,
• These are examples of actual pairs of changed police IC in Bukit Selambau: R0075654>RF75654; RT007366>RFT7366; R0107927>RF107927; R0102805>RF102805
• Another 2 police voters actually retired or moved out, and were really deleted,
  
• Non-police voter additions totaled 543 during the 3 quarters, and deletions totaled 378,
• The net change was 163 additional voters over 3 quarters, increasing the total voter count to 35,140.

Table B shows:

• How many additions and deletions are grouped under each DM (Daerah Mengundi, voting districts),
• The most changes took place in the DMs of Taman Bandar Baru, Taman Ria Jaya, and Taman Ria Selatan.
• Taman Bandar Baru is where we have found a cluster of voters with house numbers, but not street names.
  
• We were worried that such non-specific addresses in what looks like modern housing estate makes it easier to hide any phantom voters. See discussion at No Street Names Despite Modern Housing in Bukit Selambau.

Bukit Gantang changes - 1048 Additions and 957 Deletions

In Bukit Gantang, 1,048 voter ICs were added and 957 voter ICs were deleted after GE12. But 128 of these additions and deletions are actually the same police voters having their IC number format changed. The most changes took place in Changkat Jering DUN. The largest additions are in the 21-29 age group, and largest deletions in the 71-79 age group.

Is there anything sinister in these data? Not on the 128 police IC number changes. As for the roughly 900 regular voter additions and deletions over the first 3 quarters of 2008, the size of changes do not look abnormal. Only field verification can tell more.

Detailed lists of additions/deletions on a voter-by-voter basis are available for field verification. They can be broken down by:

• DUN, DM, TM, streams, or localities
• Age
• postal vs non-postal voters
• postal voters who have their ICs changed, or real changes (move-ins and move-outs).

Where do these data come from?

• We compare 2 electoral rolls, data as of 2007 Dec 31 (gazetted on 2008 Feb 5 for GE12) and 2008 Sep 30 (gazetted on 2009 Feb 19? for by-election),
• We trawled the data for voter IC which exist in the older GE12 roll, but do not exist in the newer by-election rolls. These are the "deleted" voters,
• We trawled for the voter IC which exist in the newer by-election rolls, but do not exist in the the older GE12 roll. These are the "added" voters,

Table A shows that, in Bukit Gantang (P029):

• Overall, it looks like 1,048 voter ICs were added and 957 deleted.
• In reality, 128 of these additions and deletions are "illusions." These are 128 police personnel who remained in Bukit Gantang, only having their IC numbering changed,
  
• Examples of actual pairs of changed police IC: RT008120>RFT8120; RT009431>RFT9431; R0091282>RF91282; R0101133>RF101133
• Non-police voter additions (new registrations, moved in) totaled 920 during the 3 quarters, and deletions (moved out, death, other reasons) totaled 829,
• The net change was 91 additional voters over 3 quarters, increasing the total voter count to 55,562.

Batang Air - 96% voters without house number, 350-in-one address

Over 96% of voters in Batang Air do not have house numbers. As a result, up to 350 voters are lumped under one general locality that will be very difficult to verify. Either SPR is negligent, NRIC is negligent, or the Malaysian government development has failed to help Batang Air voters get basic and specific mailing addresses after 46 years.

None of these reasons look good. Either, SPR, NRIC, or the government has to change.

Overall, 1/3 of Malaysian voters are registered without house number (NoRumah). See our blog entry NoRumah? No Rumah? More than 1/3 voters homeless?

If you think that is bad, Table A shows that:

• Batang Air is close to the extreme case in percentage of voters WITHOUT house number.
  
• 96.3% of Batang Air (N29) of Lubok Antu (P203) are registered by SPR without a house number.
• An example: 350 voters live in 203/29/02/002 without house number, ie, Lubok Antu /Batang Air/Lubok Antu/Lubok Antu/[blank house number]

• There are 5 DMs with 100% rate of voters without house number.
• The only one below the 90% rate is DM Lubok Antu, with 87% of voters without house numbers.
• Even if Batang Air residents are mostly living in long houses, aren't there more specific door numbers or room/hall/section numbers, at least for a few percentages of the voters?

What can by-election observers do?

Use phone cameras to take photo of any voter ICs with specific house number but whose house numbers do not appear in the voter roll. This would prove that SPR has not registered voters properly, or not publishing the information for voter verification.

Go here for more details about this suggestion.

In the above link, we suggest how field observers can verify whether these voters really do or do not have house numbers in the IC/MyKad. If they don't, then the pressure should shift to NRIC Department to include these crucial information in ICs.


Table B shows that:

• SPR's voter registration is so unspecific, omitting any house/door number, that 350 voters are lumped into an address without house number (NoRumah).
• 67 localities without house number contain more than 50 voters each.
