PUTRAJAYA, May 3 — Come out in the morning to vote and do not forget to bring along your identity card.  

That’s what the Election Commission (EC) wants all the 13.34 million eligible voters to do on polling day on Sunday in Malaysia’s 13th general election. 

EC chairman Tan Sri Abdul Aziz Mohd Yusof said the weatherman had predicted fine weather in the morning, but thunderstorms in some states in the afternoon. 

Voters who have moved and changed their address on the identity card with the National Registration Department, but had not applied for a change in their polling centre, were still eligible to vote, he told a news conference at the EC headquarters, here.

“The law states clearly that voting is based on the registration of a voter, whereby the name of the voter remains in the register and the polling centre would be changed only after he or she applied to the EC to do so.  – Bernama
