PETALING JAYA: Bersih 2.0 is calling for reforms on absentee voting to allow east Malaysians living in peninsular Malaysia to be registered as absentee voters.

Its chairman Maria Chin Abdullah urged the Election Commission and the federal government to amend existing regulations to not only allow Sabahans and Sarawakians but also West Malaysians living in Sabah and Sarawak to vote where they reside instead of returning to the state of origin to cast their ballot.
