State elections: Compete rationally and don’t cross the line


All candidates in the coming state elections need to play by the rules and not jeopardise Malaysia’s multicultural society. — CHAN TAK KONG/The Star

THE six state elections are just around the corner. Although the assemblies were dissolved on different dates, it is believed that elections for these states will be held concurrently.

According to the Elections Act, once a state legislative assembly has been dissolved, state elections must be held within 60 days. As such, it is generally speculated that state elections will be held during the first or second weekend of August.
