KUALA LUMPUR: The future of six states, namely Selangor, Negri Sembilan, Penang, Kedah, Kelantan, and Terengganu, lies in the hands of 9.67 million electors as they head to the polls on Saturday (Aug 12).
In Terengganu, ballots will not be cast just for the state seats, but also for the Kuala Terengganu parliamentary seat as the by-election is being held simultaneously with the six state elections.It will definitely be a long anxious wait, from the moment the polling centres are open at 8am until the full results are announced for each state, with the earliest expected to be known about two hours after the polling centres close at 6pm.
Last Tuesday, 72,554 military and police personnel, including the General Defence Force , and their spouses fulfilled their civic duties as early voters in the six state elections, while another 1,286 voted for the Kuala Terengganu by-election. Of the total, he said 103 investigation papers were opened and four arrests were made over offences committed during the campaign.
Melaka, Johor, Sabah and Sarawak, on the other hand, had already held their respective state elections long before the GE15.
