Mai Wee area also same as Namkham and Lashio township for cheating vote, forced to vote (yes)/ and asked some personnel and public to vote by pre-arrangement of referendum, sources from inside.
the people who come to vote at the earlier, they can vote by themselves but for those who come lately, they have to vote to the poll which already mark (yes) giving by polling booth manager and forced them to take ballot to put in the polling box. They announced that 1200 of people can vote but they just made only one polling booth in the school for all the people in
The resident of the town said “in the early morning, people who came to vote they could mark and vote freely by themselves, but for the people who came late, they have to vote by ballots that polling booth manager already marked (yes) and they have to give by that and couldn’t refuse it anymore. Some people vote without mark ( “yes” or “no) and after they leave, polling booth manager called them again and asked them to mark “yes’” in the ballots and put backed in the polling booth. When they counted the ballots, they didn’t allow people to watch them”.
One of the personnel said ” for our personnel, we have to give pre-arrange vote since 9 of May, but I was on my trip, I couldn’t vote at that day. And I prepared to vote today on May 10th but when I came late, me and some public couldn’t vote because they already closed the polling booth”.
As the waiter of polling booth said “we stick in the notice board that there were 1200 of people who can vote but when we counted the ballots result there are (31) of vote “no” ballots, (2) of vote “reject” and (1,325) ballots are vote “yes” ballots so I don’t know where these ballots are coming from.
