"We have also mobilised everyone in the state contingent to assist, including personnel from the Bukit Aman police headquarters, to make preparations in the event there is any threat to security and public order.
"Police will also ensure the voting process set by the Election Commission (EC), from 8.30am to 5.30pm, will run smoothly and safely," Abdul Majid said in a statement.
Therefore, he said, all eligible voters should not worry about their safety but come out to exercise their voting rights.
