Lembah Pantai MP Nurul Izzah Anwar today raised concern over a massive spike in the number of postal voters in her constituency, as the most recent electoral roll, released on Nov 2, shows.
Speaking at the Parliament lobby today, Nurul Izzah said the number of postal voters spiked by 1,363 percent, from a mere 149 on Sept 26 this year to 2,180 on Nov 2.
Worse still, she said, checks with the Election Commission revealed that 457 of these postal voters are from the Kampung Bohol in Bukit Jalil, which is outside the Lembah Pantai constituency.
"There are 2,180 police personnel who are postal voters, and this does not include their wives. The winning majority for PKR in Lembah Pantai in the previous general election was 2,895 votes."
Nurul Izzah said that this finding had been confirmed by the EC, and was among thousands of other "doubtful" voters found in the electoral roll for Lembah Pantai.
A report has been lodged with the commission, with a copy forwarded to the parliamentary select committee on electoral reform.
