Nenggiri returning officer Nik Raisnan Daud, who confirmed this, said all of the early voters in the by-election, comprising 14 police personnel, would be voting as postal voters.

“There will be no early voting on Aug 13 for the Nenggiri by-election as all of the early voters have applied for postal voting,” he said when contacted by Bernama today.

Nik Raisnan said the postal votes should be received by the EC before 4pm on polling day, which is Aug 17.

The by-election was called after the Kelantan state assembly speaker was informed that Nenggiri representative, Azizi Abu Naim, had ceased to be a member of Bersatu on June 13.

Tomorrow is nomination day for the by-election.

There are 20,259 eligible voters in the Nenggiri state constituency, comprising 20,245 ordinary voters and 14 police personnel.
