The 25-year-old learning disability twin from Taman Seri Batang Kali arrived at the polling centre of Bandar Baru Batang Kali National School here as early as 8am.
Nazmi said he was eager to vote because he wanted to fulfill his duty as a Malaysian citizen to choose a leader for the respective State Assembly (DUN).
"This is not the first experience (voting) because we have voted before (in elections).
"We want to fulfill our obligation as local citizens. We chose to come out early (in the morning) because we didn't want to queue for a long time," he said when met on Saturday.
