PUTRAJAYA - The Kuala Terengganu parliamentary by-election, to be held simultaneously with the six state polls, will incur an additional cost of RM465,000, said Election Commission (EC) chairman Tan Sri Abdul Ghani Salleh.

He said the Kuala Terengganu parliamentary by-election will be held simultaneously with the state elections in Kedah, Kelantan, Terengganu, Penang, Selangor and Negeri Sembilan with the polling day on Aug 12., while the nomination is on July 29 and early voting on Aug 8.

A returning officer and 19 assistant returning officers will be appointed to oversee the parliamentary by-election, he told a media conference after a special EC meeting here today.

The by-election for the Kuala Terengganu parliamentary seat will be the first after the 15th general election, which was held in November last year.
