First result of election in Sabah to be known at earliest 7pm




The first result of the election in Sabah is expected to be known at the earliest by 7pm on May and the last by 10pm. The Election Commission (EC) Sabah director Datuk Md Idrus Ismail said the election results this time around will be known earlier compared to the previous election as vote counting will commence at 4pm on the same day.

He said if a polling centre closes early then they can count the vote early as well, during a meeting with the media at the EC office here yesterday. In the 2008 election, he said the results were late due to bad weather.

Furthermore, he said they will use boats to bring out the ballot boxes if there is a heavy downpour. Ballot papers will be printed after nomination this Saturday. Government vehicles will be used to send 671 voters from Kampung Tanduo, Lahad Datu, currently still putting up at a hall in Felda Sahabat, to the polling station at SK Tg Labian on May 5.
