KUCHING, Oct 8: The Election Commission (EC) will convene a special meeting to examine 126 objections received against its proposed recommendations for the review of electoral constituency boundaries in Sarawak, including determining which representations qualify for a local inquiry.

The EC said the special meeting would scrutinise and deliberate on all 133 representations received during the month-long exhibition of the proposed recommendations, held from Sept 1 to 30.

Of the total, 126 representations were objections to the proposed electoral boundary review, while seven were submissions supporting the recommendations.

In a statement today, EC secretary Datuk Khairul Shahril Idrus said particular attention would be given to representations that met the requirements for consideration for a local inquiry.
