Padang Serai polls cannot be postponed as early voting already commenced, says Azalina

PETALING JAYA: The Padang Serai election can continue on Saturday (Nov 19) without a new date having to be set, said Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said.

The Barisan Nasional democracy and law task force head cited Regulation 11 (6) of the Election (Conduct of Elections) Regulations 1981, which stated that the Election Commission (EC) can only appoint a fresh date before the polls have commenced, whether by early voting or by election day itself.
