CHUKAI - All 49 polling centres and 244 polling streams for the Kemaman by-election will open at 8 am today.

The polling stations in four districts - Kemasik, Kijal, Chukai and Air Putih - will close at 6 pm.

The by-election process will involve 2,102 staff of the Election Commission (EC), who will be on duty to ensure 141,043 eligible voters cast their votes.

Due to the floods, all 387 Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) and six Armed Forces personnel members eligible for early voting were directed to cast their votes by post because their services and focus were needed in flood situations.

Therefore, the early voting on Nov 28 saw only the spouses of three military personnel casting their ballots at the Kijal police station.
