“Media coverage on the voter registration and verification process requires a press pass issued by the NEC,” it said in a notice on August 2.

To get the press pass, local journalists have to submit an application form with the NEC from September 12 to February 2 year. For international media, the application period is extended by one week to February 9.

Cambodia is slated to hold the commune and national elections in 2022 and 2023 respectively.
