CHRAJ describes December 7 polls as free, fair It said the infractions on citizens’ right to vote, especially vulnerable persons, were minimal. Mr Joseph A. Whittal, the Commissioner, said this on Thursday as part of the International Human Rights Day celebration, marked annually. This was from a report conducted by CHRAJ at places described as election hotspots. “The main objective for undertaking the exercise is to enhance inclusiveness in the promotion and protection of citizens’ right to vote with particular focus on groups or persons in vulnerable situations,” he said. The CHRAJ Boss said almost all the polling centres observed by the Commission provided special assistance to the elderly, pregnant, persons carrying babies and Persons with Disability to vote without having to wait in queues.
