PORT DICKSON: The voter turnout for the Negri Sembilan state polls is expected to be between 72% and 75%, says the Election Commission.
Its chairman Datuk Seri Ramlan Harun attributed this to the current campaign atmosphere in the state.
“We expect the turnout to range between 72% and 75%. We believe and hope voters will come out to exercise their democratic rights,” he told reporters after monitoring the early voting process at the Port Dickson police headquarters here on Tuesday (July 28).
Ramlan added that the Election Commission has received 206 reports on election offences since campaigning began.
“Everything has been going well apart from several isolated cases which we have since resolved. These offences involve campaign materials, among others,” he said.
Polling day for the Negri Sembilan state election falls on Aug 1.
