EC: No idea on Sarawak poll dates


Solid presence: The Menara SPR in Putrajaya shaped after a ballot box.

PUTRAJAYA: The Election Commission has “no idea” when the Sarawak elections will be held despite speculation that voters in the state will go to the ballot box by the end of April.

Its chairman Datuk Seri Mohd Hashim Abdullah said the EC could not determine the dates for nomination, advanced voting or polling as it had not been notified on the dissolution of the state legislative assembly.
