JOHOR BAHRU - The Election Commission (EC) is expecting over 70 per cent voter turnout in the Pulai parliamentary and Simpang Jeram state by-elections tomorrow.

EC chairman Tan Sri Abdul Ghani Salleh said if this target is achieved, it would surpass the voter turnout recorded in the six state elections on Aug 12.

"We anticipate this figure based on several factors, such as the responsibility that voters must fulfil and the competent and enthusiastic candidates during the campaign,” he told a press conference after inspecting the preparation of EC officials at the Kenanga Hall of the Johor Bahru City Council here today.

Therefore, he urged all voters to fulfil their responsibilities and plan their journeys considering the uncertain weather conditions - BERNAMA
