Amendment to Election Law


Bernama reported on May 10, 2006 that the amendment to election regulation was effective for the Sarawak State Election.

The full text of amendment is available at the SPR's website.

The salient points:
1. In addition to legal tender (meaning: notes/gold coins), the Election Commission is now accepting bank draft.

2. All counting and recounting is going to happen in the individual polling station. The margin for the request of recount has increased from 2% to 4%.

3. The practice of writing of the serial number of the voter on the counterfoil of the ballot is discontinued.
