KUALA LUMPUR:

The Election Commission will hold a meeting on June 12 to discuss the 16th Negeri Sembilan state election.

EC secretary Khairul Shahril Idrus said the meeting, which coincides with a meeting on the 16th Johor state election, is being held following the dissolution of the Negeri Sembilan legislative assembly last Friday.

He said the meeting will be chaired by EC chairman Ramlan Harun, who will discuss important dates for the Negeri Sembilan state election.

“Among them are the date of the writ of election, nomination day, polling day, electoral roll to be used, and other preparations to carry out the election,” he said in a statement today.

Khairul Shahril said a press conference would be held immediately after the special meeting.

The 36-seat Negeri Sembilan assembly was officially dissolved last Friday to pave the way for the election. - FMT
