NOMINATIONS for the Padang Serai parliamentary seat in Kedah and Tioman state seat in Pahang, will be held tomorrow, the Election Commission said.

Polling for both constituencies was postponed following the death of the candidates M. Karupaiya and Yunus Ramli for Padang Serai and Tioman respectively.

In a statement, the EC said the Padang Serai nomination centre will be at the Kulim Hi-Tech Sports Complex, while in Tioman, the centre will be at Dewan Jubli Perak Sultan Haji Ahmad Shah, Rompin.

The EC has set December 7 for polling day and December 3 for early voting.

The EC said current nominees do not have to submit their papers again, but have to be present at the nomination centre to draw lots for their position on the ballot paper.
