Two NGOs have produced several public service announcements on voting procedures because, they maintain, the Election Commission (EC) is not doing enough to educate voters.

Bersih 2.0, Tindak Malaysia and DurianFM.com have produced 16 video clips to educate voters on procedures of the EC, including new ones such as the application of indelible ink and older issues such as voting secrecy, the spending cap on candidates and 'phantom' voters.

NONE Bersih 2.0 steering committee member Arul Prakkash ( left ) said today the EC's efforts to ensure voters are adequately informed were not up to international standards.

Prakkash said in Australia, voting procedures are taught to schoolchildren while in Thailand, voting procedures are taught in advance of an election, through the mass media.

"But in Malaysia, how many people know how the indelible ink will be applied?" he added at a press conference at the Kuala Lumpur and Selangor Chinese Assembly Hall.

Echoing Prakkash, Tindak Malaysia coordinator PY Wong said voters in Malaysia do not even know their rights. They only knew how to put a cross on the ballot papers.

"As voters, Malaysians need to know more... The videos will educate them to empower themselves as voters."

The videos, funded by DurianFM.com , will be uploaded weekly on the web radio's YouTube channel.
