He said throughout the early voting process, everyone must comply with the Covid-19 prevention guidelines set such as observing physical distancing, wearing face masks, using hand sanitiser and body temperature screening.
"The voting process will be witnessed by agents of the candidates as well as election observers appointed by the EC and it will also be broadcast live via EC's Facebook page," he said in a statement in Tanjung Malim today.
Ikmalrudin said the ballot boxes would be stored at the Muallim police lock-up and the tallying process would be conducted on polling day this Saturday at the vote-counting centre, in the Tanjung Malim District Council.
"The EC hopes that the voters will fulfil their rights and responsibilities," he said.
