AKP Phnom Penh, February 17, 2026 --

The Government of Japan will provide the National Election Committee of Cambodia (NEC) with a server to improve voter data management.

The handover ceremony will take place on Feb. 19 at the NEC headquarters in Phnom Penh, in the presence of NEC Chairman H.E. Prach Chan and Japanese Ambassador to Cambodia H.E. Ueno Atsushi.

The server is part of a US$5.4 million grant aid package from Japan aimed at supporting the NEC in the registration and management of voter information. This assistance underscores Japan’s steadfast support for Cambodia’s democracy through the strengthening of electoral management and organisation.

The new equipment will replace the system previously donated by the Government of Japan in 2016.

To date, Japan remains one of Cambodia’s largest foreign donors contributing to the country’s social and economic development.

According to the NEC, there are a total of 10,162,232 registered voters on the 2025 official voter list, representing 90.50 percent of eligible voters. Among those registered are young voters aged 18 and above, including 5,393,309 females. A total of 24,235 polling stations have been established nationwide.

Cambodia will hold the 6th Commune/Sangkat Council Election on Sunday June 6, 2027.
