SEREMBAN, Sept 1 (Bernama) -- Wanita Umno chief Datuk Seri Rafidah Aziz has asked the Election Commission (EC) to ensure that a single version of untainted electoral rolls is used for future elections.

Rafidah said the EC had admitted to her that two sets of voters' lists were used in her parliamentary constituency of Kuala Kangsar in the 1999 general election.

She said she found out about the discrepancy during nominations for a state seat in the constituency.

She said the seconder's name appeared in the list she had but not in the one held by the returning officer.

Checks with the EC in Kuala Lumpur showed that there were indeed two versions of electoral rolls, she told reporters after giving away prizes for a Quran-reading and Nasyid competition organised by Negeri Sembilan Wanita Umno here today.

"How the two versions came about we don't know. The EC should investigate and if it (discrepancy) causes problems to voters, the matter should be rectified," she said.
