KUCHING – Online application for postal voting for the 12th Sarawak election for Malaysians residing abroad and those in the security and health sectors is open from November 8 to 24.
Election Commission (EC) secretary Datuk Ikmalrudin Ishak said the application is for Form 1B (Malaysian citizens who are abroad) and Form 1C (nine agencies in the safety and health sectors) voter categories only.
“The details for postal vote application category Form 1A (election workers, EC members/officers, police, military and media personnel) will be informed later.
“Applications must be made online through the MySPR Daftar website or the EC’s official portal,” he said in a statement today.
Ikmalrudin said applicants are also advised to apply in advance to avoid any problem or difficulties.
Should there be any queries, applicants may contact the Postal Vote Management Unit at 03-8892-7080 or email to [email protected].
On November 3, Yang di-Pertuan Agong Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri’ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah consented to lifting the health emergency in Sarawak which took effect on August 2.
The lifting of the emergency proclamation indirectly paved the way for the Sarawak election, after the term of the state Assembly ended on June 6.
The EC will convene a special meeting regarding the 12th Sarawak election on November 24 in Kuching. – Bernama, November 16, 2021
