KUALA LUMPUR: The Election Commission (EC) will hold a special meeting on Oct 7 to discuss matters related to the 16th Melaka state election.
EC secretary Datuk Khairul Shahril Idrus said the special meeting followed the dissolution of the Melaka State Assembly last Wednesday.
“The special meeting will be chaired by EC chairman Datuk Seri Ramlan Harun.
“Matters to be discussed include key dates for the 16th Melaka state election, including the writ of election, nomination day, polling day, the electoral roll to be used, and other preparations for the election,” he said in a statement today.
He said a press conference would be held immediately after the meeting.
