KUCHING: Voters for the 12th Sarawak state elections have been advised to go out and cast their ballots according to the times suggested by the Election Commission (EC).

EC secretary Ikmalrudin Ishak said the recommended voting time for each voter was set out in the MySPR Semak application.

If voters could not come out to vote at the set times for whatever reason, he said they could still do so from 7.30am to 5pm.

“However, voters are advised not to cast their ballots at the last minute and to always abide by the special guidelines on Covid-19 prevention on polling day,” he said in a statement today.

He also urged those who already knew their voting details to go directly to their designated voting channel and to check their information in advance before polling day through https://pengundi.spr.gov.my, the MySPR Semak app or the EC Hotline at 03-8892 7018.

“When checking, voters are recommended to note down and store the information on their polling centre, voting channel and number,” said Ikmalrudin.

He also reminded voters to bring their identity cards and voting information records, which should be given to the first polling clerk to facilitate the process.

“Voters are advised to keep their identity cards safe and not to hand them over to anyone except the election officials at their respective polling stations.”

He said 1,213,769 out of 1,252,014 registered voters were eligible to cast their ballots on Saturday as 20,360 were early voters and 17,885 had voted by post. - FMT
