JEPAK voters were advised by the Election Commission (EC) not to cast their ballots at the last minute tomorrow.

EC secretary Ikmalrudin Ishak encouraged electors to vote according to their suggested voting slots on the MySPR Semak app.

Information on polling stations, voting channels and the number of voters can be checked on the website or by calling the EC hotline at 03-8892 7018/7218/7124 or through the MySPR Semak app.

“Voters are also reminded not to hand over their identity cards to people other than election officials,” he said in a statement today.

He said for the by-election, there would be 14 polling stations and 45 channels, manned by 446 officers.

The Jepak by-election will see a three-cornered clash between Gabungan Parti Sarawak’s Iskandar Turkee, Parti Bumi Kenyalang’s Stevenson Joseph Sumbang, and Parti Aspirasi Rakyat Sarawak’s Chieng Lea Phing.

The Jepak polls were called after the death of incumbent Talib Zulpilip on September 15. Jepak has 22,804 voters comprising 22,761 ordinary voters and 43 policemen. – Bernama, November 3, 2023.
