SHAH ALAM – Selangor Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari has described the polling day of August 12 set for the upcoming six state elections as appropriate and reasonable.
Apart from that, he said the 14-day campaign period beginning July 29 is also sufficient for all campaigning parties and potential candidates to introduce themselves.
“In these times, when social media is becoming more and more popular, I believe it gives sufficient time to all parties to explain their policies and persuade voters.
“With the time period announced, all parties would be prepared to face the elections.
“(Polling) will also be held on Saturday, which is a holiday for all the states involved,” he said.
The Election Commission today announced that the state elections in Kedah, Kelantan, Terengganu, Penang, Selangor and Negri Sembilan would be held simultaneously.
July 29 has been set for the nomination of candidates, while early voting will take place on August 8. – Bernama, July 5, 2023
