Electoral Reform Committee says its recommendations will not be ready in time for GE15


KUALA LUMPUR: The government has given enough indication to show that it is committed to carrying out reforms to the electoral process but the Electoral Reform Committee (ERC) believes none of its recommendations would be ready in time for the 15th General Election (GE15).

ERC chairman Tan Sri Ab Rashid Ab Rahman (pic) said more than 30 of the 49 recommendations presented would take about three years before they are ready to be implemented, adding that it was best not to rush any type of reform.
