Melaka voters have been urged to cast their ballots early to avoid possible rain in the afternoon, with caretaker chief minister Datuk Seri Ab Rauf Yusoh saying preparations had been made to assist voters should wet weather affect polling operations.
Ab Rauf said voters should take advantage of the morning to fulfil their civic responsibility, as weather forecasts indicated a possibility of rain later in the day.
“I hope everyone can come out as early as possible this morning because rain is expected in the afternoon.
“Nevertheless, we have made the necessary preparations to assist voters in the event of rain,” he told reporters after casting his ballot at Sekolah Kebangsaan (SK) Jeram in Masjid Tanah today.
