A total of 11,835 police personnel in Sabah and Labuan cast their early ballots, Tuesday.
Kota Kinabalu: The early balloting is so that the police force would be on duty to protect polling stations on Saturday when millions more Malaysians come out to vote. From the figure, a total of 9,116 registered early voters are made up of police officials and their spouses, while the remaining 2,719 were police officials registered as postal voters. Sabah Police Commissioner Datuk Idris Abdullah said 41 voting centres with 47 voting channels were opened from 8am to 5pm.
“Excluding the postal voters we expect a 72 per cent turnout from the 5th Division family today. They will follow rotations according to respective companies and units on order to avoid congestion at the polling centres. There are 11,181 active Malaysian Armed Forces in Sabah including Labuan eligible to vote,” he said. “The Election Commission set up 12 early voting centres in Sabah for the army in Tawau, Sandakan and Kota Kinabalu,” he added.
