MELAKA, Oct 30 — The Melaka state election saw 189 nomination forms sold as of last night, with 45 prospective candidates having paid their deposits, according to Election Commission (EC) chairman Datuk Seri Ramlan Harun.
He said 28 nomination centres will open simultaneously across the state from 9 am to 10 am tomorrow for the nomination process.
“To ensure a smooth process, we urge all prospective candidates to arrive early so that EC staff can thoroughly verify their documents and avoid any issues that could affect their participation in the election.
“We do not want any problems that might prevent someone from contesting or cause similar complications. We are trying to avoid that,” he told reporters after observing a nomination simulation at the Ballroom Hall of Hang Jebat Stadium in Paya Rumput here today.
