Pulai polls: Early voter turnout at 51% as of 11am Sept 5


JOHOR BARU: The number of early voters comprising police officers and personnel in the Pulai parliamentary by-election stood at 51% as of 11am Tuesday (Sept 5), says the Election Commission (EC).

In a statement, the EC said the figure at 10am was 34%.

 Two early voting centres have been opened, at the Kempas police station in Kempas and the Marine Police Region II headquarters in Tampoi.

Based on EC data, a total of 46 voters are set to cast their ballots at the Kempas early voting centre and 881 at Tampoi.

The centre at the Kempas police station will be open until noon, while the one at Tampoi will close at 5pm.

Pulai is one of two by-elections called in Johor following the death of Datuk Seri Salahuddin Ayub, who was also the domestic trade and cost of living minister, on July 23, the other being for the Simpang Jeram state seat.

However, there will be no early voting for Simpang Jeram.

The EC set polling for both seats on Saturday (Sept 9). The campaigning period, which began on Aug 26, ends at 11.59pm on Sept 8.

Both seats are seeing three-cornered fights involving incumbent Pakatan Harapan, Perikatan Nasional and Independents.
