Final assessment and report on 2007 commune council elections
The 2007 commune council elections took place as scheduled. The pre-election atmosphere in terms of the participation of political parties was better than 2002. Other improvements COMFREL did notice included a modest increase in participation of women in commune/Sangkat councils, up to 14.64% from 8% in 2002, an overall reduction of the violence and intimidation cases, and a relative improvement in media access. However, a lower voter turn out was a worrisome; the number of voter turn out decreased to 68%, from 87% in 2002.
