Earlier, the authorities made national identity cards and the family unit (Ing-Htaung-Su) for residents of Ra Da Kaung village in Tatkone quarter. Now it is collecting the exact list of residents who will cast the 'Yes' vote in the referendum, the resident added.
"The reason to recheck the list is to ensure that voters go to the polling booths to support the constitutional referendum and check whether the voters are at home," said a voter. The authorities are marking the exact list of voters, he added.
However, in some quarters in the township, residents who have come from abroad have not been included in the voter's list even if they have come with the intention of voting in the referendum, said a resident who has just come back from abroad.
The military regime has been constructing polling booths in the township and is continuing to collect the list of supporters of the referendum at the same time.
On Monday and Tuesday this week, a poster campaign was launched against the regime's constitutional referendum on May 10. The posters were pasted in three major townships in Kachin State—Myitkyina, Waingmaw and Bhamo jointly by civilians and student leaders of the All Kachin Students Union (AKSU).
In Myitkyina, vote 'No' campaign posters were pasted and distributed on A-4 size papers. Big 'No' letters were painted on the walls and on the main roads, Naw Awng, an AKSU student leader said.
Eyewitnesses in Myitkyina told KNG, that the township authorities yesterday white washed the big green letters reading 'No' which were sprayed on the road opposite the Kachin Traditional Manau Park and at the entrance to the Myitkyina University in black.
