Polls in the time of Covid-19

Strict SOP vital: Traditional voting but with very, very strict regulations and restrictions on face-to-face campaigning is still the best way to hold polls during the pandemic.

WITH Malaysia entering a third wave of Covid-19 infections in the wake of the Sabah state polls, members of the public are becoming fearful that another election may further exacerbate the health situation in Malaysia.

Questions are being raised as to whether it is suitable for us to hold elections now, and whether it is possible to defer until the infection rates subside.
