EARLY voting at the Kemaman by-election today will only involve three electors.

The spouses of the military personnel will cast their ballots at the Kijal police station in Chukai, which would be open from 8am to noon.

All 387 policemen and six armed forces members eligible for early voting have cast postal ballots.

Terengganu police chief Mazli Mazlan said the instruction was issued to all personnel involved to change from early voting to voting by post to ensure focus on rescue works during the flood season.

The Malaysian Meteorological Department has forecast rain in the morning until evening.

The by-election will see a direct fight between Barisan Nasional (BN) candidate, former chief of Defence Force Gen (Rtd) Raja Mohamed Affandi Raja Mohamed Noor and Terengganu Menteri Besar Dr Ahmad Samsuri Mokhtar of PAS.

The Election Commission has fixed Saturday for polling. The by-election is necessitated by the decision of the Terengganu Election Court on September 26 to nullify the victory of PAS candidate Che Alias Hamid in the 15th general election. – Bernama, November 28, 2023.
