‘Categorise Sarawakians in peninsula as absentee voters’

PETALING JAYA: Election watchdog Bersih 2.0 has called on the Election Commission (EC) to allow Sarawakians living in the peninsula to vote without having to fly back to their constituencies.

In a statement by its steering committee, it said this can be done by categorising them as absentee voters and allowing them to vote in advance at centralised voting centres, at least one in each state in the peninsula.
