JOHOR BARU: Two early voting centres for the Pulai parliamentary by-election - the Kempas police station in Kempas and Wilayah Dua Marine Police Force headquarters in Tampoi - opened simultaneously at 8am Tuesday (Sept 5).

A total of 927 police officers and personnel will cast their ballots in Tuesday's early voting process.

Based on data from the Election Commission (EC), a total of 46 people will cast their ballots at the early voting centre at the Kempas police station operations room while 881 will do so at Dewan Nusantara, Wilayah Dua PPM headquarters.

The early voting centre at the Kempas Police Station will be open until noon, while the one at Wilayah Dua PPM will be closed at 5pm.

Pulai is one of two by-elections called in Johor following the death of Datuk Seri Salahuddin Ayub, who was also the domestic trade and cost of living minister, on July 23, the other being for the Simpang Jeram state seat.

However, there will be no early voting for Simpang Jeram.

The EC set polling for both seats on Saturday (Sept 9), after the campaigning period, which began on Aug 26, ends at 11.59pm on Sept 8. - Bernama
