EC targets over 60pc turnout for Sabah polls
TUARAN: The Election Commission (EC) is targeting a voter turnout of more than 60 per cent for tomorrow’s state election.

EC Chairman Datuk Seri Ramlan Harun (pic) said the projection was based on turnout figures from the previous state polls and the early voting process held on Tuesday.

He said unpredictable weather could affect the percentage, as heavy rain may make it difficult for voters to leave their homes, and no additional voting hours would be provided.

Ramlan added that the EC may postpone polling in areas severely affected by floods or landslides, depending on reports from the District Disaster Management Committee.
