EC urged to extend campaign period to 21 days for postal voters' benefit

KUALA LUMPUR: The Election Commission (EC) has been urged to extend the campaign period to 21 days from 14 days currently and work with Malaysian embassies abroad so Malaysians abroad can take part in the democratic process.

VoteMalaysia Coalition's (VMC) Qyira Yusri said the EC can address logistics issues by allowing Malaysians to vote physically at embassies overseas or to mail their ballots to the embassies instead of their respective returning officers (RO).
