GE15: Ban cameras, phones in polling booths to curb vote buying, says PBK chief


SIBU: The Election Commission (EC) should ban cameras and mobile phones in polling booths to discourage vote buying, says Parti Bumi Kenyalang (PBK) president Voon Lee Shan.

He said candidates or political party representatives could make an "advance partial payment" to voters, who would then take a photograph of their crossed ballot paper in the polling booth as proof.
