POSTAL VOTING TO BE AMENDED, SAYS EC

PUTRAJAYA, April 2 (Bernama) -- The postal voting system is to be amended, Election Commission chairman Abdul Aziz Mohd Yusof said Friday.

He said that amendments to Election Regulations would be tabled in
Parliament in June and were expected to be enforced before the 13th general election.

He said the procedure would be simplified, with voters gathered in a hall to cast their ballot papers.

They would not need to fill forms and send them to the commission, he told Bernama.

Abdul Aziz said the new procedure would however not apply to students and those serving overseas and members of the armed forces.
