He reviewed the report of the Special Summary Revision of 2023 that was held between November 8, 2022, and December 9, 2022 and discussed the core points for improving the services related to the electoral process — with emphasis on systematic voters’ education and electoral participation (SVEEP) activities and innovation to maximise the voting percentage.
