Cambodia Elections 2018

Today was election day throughout the country. It seems to have gone peacefully but that was to be expected since there was no real opposition. Here are some photos from the day.

Cambodian Election 2018

Today is the first day of a three-day holiday for the Cambodian national elections. The actual voting takes place tomorrow and the day before and the day after were declared holidays to allow people to travel to the provinces to vote. There is no absentee balloting. Campaigning was allowed up to yesterday. Today–what the officials call a “clean day”—no campaigning or demonstrations are allowed. Passive signs like this ruling party sign–on public property–can be a passive voice for the parties although the ruling party is the only one that can really afford them.
