PUTRAJAYA: Malaysians in six states will head to the polls for elections to their legislative assemblies simultaneously on August 12, with early voting set for August 8. At a press conference today, Election Commission chairman Abdul Ghani Salleh announced that nominations for elections in the states of Selangor, Penang, Negeri Sembilan, Kedah, Kelantan and Terengganu will be held on July 29.
The six states, which are either controlled by Pakatan Harapan or PAS, decided not to hold their elections simultaneously with the 15th general election last year. In December, Ghani said it would be best if the six state polls were held simultaneously to allow for better coordination of manpower.
