SHAH ALAM - A total of 6,458 votes of Malaysians living in the United Kingdom (UK) and Ireland as of 1am will be brought home on Thursday.
The VoteMalaysia coalition in the UK and Ireland said in a statement that all polling centres have been closed except for the main polling centre.
According to him, two members of the Vote Malaysia UKE affiliate will bring the ballot papers back to the country at 10.25am the same day to be handed over to the parties concerned and distributed according to parliament and the National Assembly (DUN).
"Vote Malaysia UKE is ensuring that access to the 15th General Election (GE15) is simplified thus increasing the participation of all.
"To make this effort a success, several assistance service counters and postal vote workshops have been activated. In fact, within the last 48 hours, 58 vote collection centres were opened in 51 cities across the UK and Ireland," he said.
It was added that the effort was mostly from students and was done for Malaysians throughout the UK and Ireland.
"We would like to express our gratitude to all parties involved, especially the student associations throughout the UK and Ireland for their dedication and commitment to respond to the call for democracy for the sake of Malaysia.
"This is the success of all of us, Malaysians who are united in hardship and carry out our responsibilities for the sake of our beloved country. For that, Happy Voting," he wished.
