HULU SELANGOR, May 7 — The voter turnout for early voting for the Kuala Kubu Baharu state by-election reached 90 per cent as of 1 pm today, according to the Election Commission (EC).
The voting process involves two early voting centres, namely the multipurpose hall of the Royal Malaysian Police College and the 4th Infantry Division of the Royal Signals Regiment, Erskine Camp, which opened simultaneously at 8am and will close at 5pm today.
