Should the general election be held in the next few months, how prepared are we for a clean and fair electoral process?

The Coalition for Clean and Fair Elections (BERSIH), which is endorsed by 5 political parties and 26 NGOs, has four short-term goals as well as a long-term reform agenda:

1 ) Use of indelible ink
