KUALA LUMPUR, June 22 — The High Court here today granted a voter from the Iskandar Puteri parliamentary constituency permission to initiate legal proceedings in relation to a purported decision by the Election Commission to bar him from voting in the Johor state election on March 12.
In the application filed on June 8, Tamileswaaran, 26, had sought a court order to quash the EC’s decision or action that prevented him from voting on March 12 on the grounds that he was still in quarantine after being confirmed positive for Covid-19 on March 7. According to Tamileswaaran, he was instructed to undergo quarantine at home after being confirmed positive for Covid-19 and on polling day, he entered the sixth day of quarantine.
Tamilswaaran said earlier, at 10.30am, his parents had gone to the polling centre and had inquired with an EC officer whether their son was allowed to vote, to which the officer said yes as a special voting area had been prepared for cases like his.
