KINABATANGAN: A total of 196 police personnel will cast their early ballots tomorrow in the Kinabatangan parliamentary and Lamag state legislative assembly by-elections.
Voting will take place at the Kinabatangan district police headquarters from 8am to 5pm via a single polling stream.
Meanwhile, the Malaysian Meteorological Department has forecast favourable weather conditions for the day.
The Kinabatangan parliamentary contest is a three-cornered fight involving Mohd Kurniawan Naim Moktar of Barisan Nasional (BN), Datuk Saddi Abdul Rahman of Warisan, and independent candidate Goldam Hamid.
The Lamag state seat will see a straight fight between Mohd Ismail Ayob of BN and Mazliwati Abdul Malek of Warisan.
The by-elections were called following the death of the former incumbent, Datuk Seri Bung Moktar Radin, 66, on Dec 5 last year.
The Election Commission has set Saturday, Jan 24, as polling day.
