SEREMBAN: Election Commission (EC) chairman Azhar Azizan Harun(pic) is unsure if Barisan Nasional candidate Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan displaying his ballot paper after marking it is against the law or not.

“I am not too sure. What I know is that the ballot paper should be kept secret and no one else can reveal it. However, he is revealing it on his own so I am not too sure if it is against the laws," he told reporters after announcing the results of the Rantau by-election at the counting centre in Bandar Sri Sendayan.
