MELAKA: The Election Commission (EC) will hold a special meeting today to fix the key dates for the 16th Melaka state election.

The meeting will be chaired by EC chairman Datuk Seri Ramlan Harun, followed by a press conference scheduled at 11.30am to announce the decisions.

Among the matters to be determined are the election writ date, nomination day, early voting day and polling day, as well as the electoral roll.

The election arrangements are also expected to include the use of nomination centres and polling centres, as well as preparations for election personnel to ensure the voting process runs smoothly.

The dissolution of the state assembly on Sept 23 paved the way for an election to be held within 60 days.
