BINTULU: Election Commission (EC) chairman Tan Sri Abdul Ghani Salleh has called on voters to come out and vote for the Jepak by-election as voter turnout is still quite low.

“The turnout is not satisfactory at the moment. I urge all voters to come out so that we can achieve our target of 65%. There is still time until 5.30pm to cast your ballots," he told reporters after visiting the SK Bintulu polling station here.
