THE Election Commission (EC) has reminded voters not to believe information widely shared about a polling day dress code that bars those wearing shorts and slippers from entering the polling station.

Its deputy chairman, Dr Azmi Sharom, has told voters not to be concerned as the information is false.

“The EC has only one rule and that is voters should not wear clothes or hats bearing a symbol of any political party. That’s all.

“All other news stating that shorts and flip-flops cannot be worn… those are all false. If you have any doubts, check on the EC website,” he said after voting and surveying the voting process at Sekolah Kebangsaan 2 Sultan Alam Shah, Section 11, Petaling Jaya, today.

Azmi said Malaysians who are eligible to vote should make their way to the polling centre at the  recommended times or before 6pm if there are unavoidable matters.

He said as of this afternoon, the EC had not received any serious complaints or reports and hoped that the voting process would go on smoothly until polling stations close at 6 pm today. – Bernama, November 19, 2022.
