MELAKA — Approximately 12,531 military personnel, police officers, and their spouses will participate in early voting for the upcoming Melaka State Election, election officials announced on Friday.
The early voting exercise will enable uniformed service members and their family members to cast their ballots before the general polling day, ensuring their participation in the electoral process. The advance polls will be conducted across multiple voting centres distributed throughout Melaka.
The move is part of standard electoral procedures that facilitate voting for members of the security forces, who may face operational constraints on the official polling date. Election authorities have made arrangements to accommodate these voters at designated centres to streamline the process.
The 16th Melaka State Election will determine representation across the state's parliamentary and state assembly constituencies. Election Commission officials have been coordinating logistics to ensure smooth operations at all voting venues during the early polling period.
