KOTA KINABALU – The Election Commission on Thursday has issued 19,010 postal ballots for all the 73 seats in the 16th Sabah state election.

The ballots comprised 17,257 for election workers, 81 for absent voters abroad, 78 for Malaysian citizens overseas and 1,594 for authorised health and security personnel.

The EC said the process was broadcast on the EC Facebook page for the purpose of increasing the public’s understanding of the election process.

Voters are reminded to refrain from uploading photos of their ballots on social media to ensure the confidentiality of their votes. – Bernama, September 19, 2020
