The Election Commission (EC) is prepared to face the possibility of an early 15th General Election (GE15), said Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Takiyuddin Hassan.
He said the preparations include budgeting, equipment, logistics, system development, human resource management and training for staff.
"This is important to ensure a smooth election, especially during the post-Covid-19 period," he said during the question-and-answer session at the Dewan Rakyat today.
Takiyuddin was replying to Mahdzir Khalid (BN-Padang Terap) who wanted to know the EC’s level of preparedness to face the possibility of an early GE15 and on the development of a proposal to apply electronic voting method (e-voting) as an alternative to the conventional method in the post-Covid-19 period.
He said other preparations for GE15 include having more polling stations in constituencies with a high number of voters and updating the electoral roll from time to time. - Mkini
