About this app

CI VoteKad is a convenience tool for volunteers to register voters in Malaysia. It provides an accurate way of voter registration, preventing unintentional mistakes from being made by the volunteers. As it exports data to a csv file, it also helps computerization of data entry tasks in the election commission.

With CI VoteKad, the personal particulars of voters flow from MyKad to a smartphone or a tablet electronically, with the help of a tiny and affordable smartcard reader. Automatic filling up of voter registration forms can be done using the free application CI FormFiller SPR A NW, or facilities like the mail-merge function of word-processors. If the election commission decides to accept the exported csv file, the particulars will flow from the smartphone or tablet to the computers of the commission, also electronically. If this happens, during the entire voter registration process, we can eliminate human errors, which are believed to be the main source of electoral roll inconsistencies.

Therefore, we believe CI VoteKad enables us to move one step closer to an error-free electoral roll in Malaysia.
