KUALA LUMPUR: The Election Commission (EC) has received notification letters from the speakers of three state legislative assemblies regarding their dissolution
While the Coalition for Clean and Fair Elections or Bersih wants the Election Commission (EC) to consider postal voting as options for Sarawakians and Sabahans working in West Malaysia in the coming 15th general election (GE15), it also called on voters to demand bringing back election for local authorities (“third vote”) as solution to minimising corruptions.
Although the Sabah and Sarawak State Legislative Assemblies are not dissolved with the dissolution of Parliament to enable state elections, Bersih calls for the reinstatement of the “third vote” that Umno did away with in the 1960s
